FPSO Passive Breakaway Safety Systems is an important consideration for passive FPSO coupling arrangements. Gall Thomson provides application guidance on marine transfer protection, with an emphasis on providing a protective last resort without routine operator action. The correct solution depends on the terminal arrangement, the hose construction, the transferred medium and the operational risks.

FPSO floating and reeled transfer systems place different mechanical demands on coupling equipment. Hose stiffness, reel geometry, purging pressure and operational procedures should all be reviewed during design.

For more information about passive FPSO coupling arrangements, read the Gall Thomson application guidance and contact the technical team to discuss the installation.
