Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a loading assembly for conveying a pressurized gas stream between a floating structure and an other structure. The loading assembly comprises a coupling device (3) to create a gas connection between a first and second gas conduit, a hydraulic actuator (4) mechanically coupled to the coupling device (3) to move the coupling device (3) and a switching system (7) arranged between a high pressure hydraulic fluid source (5), a low pressure hydraulic fluid reservoir (6) and the hydraulic actuator (4), wherein the switching system (7) comprises a biased pneumatically actuated switch (71) which has a biased position corresponding to the open state of the coupling device (3) and an override position corresponding to the closed state of the coupling device (3), wherein the override position is activated by the gas pressure in the gas connection.
