Single Point Mooring Hose Protection is an important consideration for SPM floating hose strings. Gall Thomson provides application guidance on marine transfer protection, with an emphasis on positioning breakaway protection within a tanker transfer hose string. The correct solution depends on the terminal arrangement, the hose construction, the transferred medium and the operational risks.

Marine Breakaway Couplings can be positioned in floating, reeled or submerged hose systems, with the location selected for the particular installation. Their purpose is to help limit the consequences of abnormal tension or pressure events rather than replace normal operating safeguards.

For more information about SPM floating hose strings, read the Gall Thomson application guidance and contact the technical team to discuss the installation.
