Underbuoy Hose String Risk Reduction is an important consideration for underbuoy transfer hoses. Gall Thomson provides application guidance on marine transfer protection, with an emphasis on considering coupling location close to a mooring buoy. 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.
