Submerged Catenary Hose Protection is an important consideration for submerged catenary transfer systems. Gall Thomson provides application guidance on marine transfer protection, with an emphasis on considering the loads and operating conditions of suspended subsea hoses. 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 submerged catenary transfer systems, read the Gall Thomson application guidance and contact the technical team to discuss the installation.
