CBM Variable Tide Transfer Protection is an important consideration for CBM terminals subject to variable tides. Gall Thomson provides application guidance on marine transfer protection, with an emphasis on considering tension changes during cargo transfer. The correct solution depends on the terminal arrangement, the hose construction, the transferred medium and the operational risks.

The typical CBM installation places a coupling near the pipeline end manifold, although the final design depends on the PLEM, hose sequence, medium and operating conditions. Each separate transfer string needs appropriate consideration.
