FPSO Hose Stiffness Design Considerations is an important consideration for FPSO hose stiffness characteristics. Gall Thomson provides application guidance on marine transfer protection, with an emphasis on reviewing mechanical behaviour at the coupling. The correct solution depends on the terminal arrangement, the hose construction, the transferred medium and the operational risks.

In FPSO service, a passive Marine Breakaway Coupling can provide last-resort protection when an export tanker moves unexpectedly or when a severe pressure surge occurs. Selection should account for the specific hose and offloading design.

For more information about FPSO hose stiffness characteristics, read the Gall Thomson application guidance and contact the technical team to discuss the installation.
