Thank you for your comment.

In laymans terms, oil tankers are tethered to floating mono-buoy (SBM - Single Buoy Mooring) for discharge process. An underwater pipeline transfers crude oil to holding tanks on shore. A land pipeline transfers the oil from storage tanks to the refinery.

Quite a contrast between the two. Is this some kind of oil pump?
