FPSO Self Energised Disconnect Protection is an important consideration for self-energised MBC installations. Gall Thomson provides application guidance on marine transfer protection, with an emphasis on using a passive response calibrated to specified loads. 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 self-energised MBC installations, read the Gall Thomson application guidance and contact the technical team to discuss the installation.
