SPM Underbuoy Coupling Installation Position is an important consideration for SPM underbuoy hoses. Gall Thomson provides application guidance on marine transfer protection, with an emphasis on assessing the first sections of hose below a buoy. The correct solution depends on the terminal arrangement, the hose construction, the transferred medium and the operational risks.

The Gall Thomson application guidance shows example arrangements for SPM, CBM, FPSO, FSO and FSU installations. Coupling positioning must be assessed for the full hose assembly and transfer conditions.

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