Floating Hose String Separation Protection is an important consideration for floating marine hose strings. Gall Thomson provides application guidance on marine transfer protection, with an emphasis on reducing uncontrolled release following excessive tension. The correct solution depends on the terminal arrangement, the hose construction, the transferred medium and the operational risks.

The Gall Thomson application guidance shows example arrangements for SPM, CBM, FPSO, FSO and FSU installations. Coupling positioning must be assessed for the full hose assembly and transfer conditions.

For more information about floating marine hose strings, read the Gall Thomson application guidance and contact the technical team to discuss the installation.
