FPSO Shuttle Tanker Offloading Safety is an important consideration for FPSO to shuttle tanker transfers. Gall Thomson provides application guidance on marine transfer protection, with an emphasis on addressing emergency separation during hydrocarbon offloading. 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 to shuttle tanker transfers, read the Gall Thomson application guidance and contact the technical team to discuss the installation.
