SPM Staggered Hose Coupling Positioning is an important consideration for staggered SPM hose strings. Gall Thomson provides application guidance on marine transfer protection, with an emphasis on considering more than one hose position in a terminal design. 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.
