Zusammenfassung:According to some aspects, a tug and barge arrangement is provided that is configured with an articulated conduit system for transferring fluid between the tug and the barge. In some embodiments, an articulated conduit system is provided that comprises a plurality of conduits fluidically interconnected by rotatable joints configured to permit positional alterations of the fluid conduits that result from differential movement between a tug and barge. De acuerdo con algunos aspectos, se proporciona una disposición del remolcador y barcaza que se configura con un sistema de conducto articulado para transferir fluido entre el remolcador y la barcaza; en algunas modalidades, se proporciona un sistema de conducto articulado que comprende una pluralidad de conductos interconectados de manera fluida por medio de juntas giratorias que se configuran para permitir alteraciones de posición de los conductos de fluido que resultan del movimiento diferencial entre un remolcador y una barcaza.
