Submarine Hose String Breakaway Protection is an important consideration for submarine terminal hoses. Gall Thomson provides application guidance on marine transfer protection, with an emphasis on protecting subsea hose strings during abnormal loading. 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 submarine terminal hoses, read the Gall Thomson application guidance and contact the technical team to discuss the installation.
