In Air Catenary Transfer Safety is an important consideration for in-air catenary hoses. Gall Thomson provides application guidance on marine transfer protection, with an emphasis on managing breakaway risk in suspended transfer arrangements. The correct solution depends on the terminal arrangement, the hose construction, the transferred medium and the operational risks.

Good transfer protection starts with understanding how a hose string connects the vessel and terminal. Configuration, mechanical loads and likely emergency scenarios all affect equipment specification.

For more information about in-air catenary hoses, read the Gall Thomson application guidance and contact the technical team to discuss the installation.
