A water intake riser (1) that can be suspended from a vessel includes a riser connected to a riser hanger. The riser hanger has a first tubular element (5), a second tubular element (6) to which the riser is connected, and a connecter joining the tubular elements. The connector (14) has a first joint (15) to provide relative rotation between the first tubular element (5) and the second tubular element (6) about a first axis of rotation (17), and a second joint (16) to provide relative rotation between the first tubular element (5) and the second tubular element (6) about a second axis of rotation (19). A vessel may be provided with a water intake riser using the above-described riser hanger. A process for liquefying natural gas may include use of such a water intake riser.
