Marine transfer hoses move liquids where fixed pipework cannot: composite ship-to-ship hoses for transfer operations between vessels and from ship to shore, and buoyant floating hose strings carrying product between tankers, terminals and single-point moorings. EMIS specifies the hose type, bore, length and end fittings to the product and the operation, then sources from vetted manufacturers with inspection and test documentation supplied.
Ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore transfer runs on composite hoses: flexible, multi-layer constructions that stay reliable in dynamic conditions where rigid pipework would fail, handling hydrocarbons, solvents and other cargoes across the bores and pressures transfer operations demand. Assemblies are specified by bore, length, working pressure, product compatibility and end fittings, and inspected and tested to the standards the operation's marine assurance requires.
Floating hoses add buoyancy to the same job: hose strings that ride on the water's surface between tanker manifolds, buoy moorings and shore connections, built to survive waves, currents and UV exposure while keeping the product moving. Strings are assembled from mainline, tail, reducer and end-reinforced sections, with half-float and full-float configurations chosen to the mooring arrangement and sea state.
EMIS specifies the assembly, hose type and construction, bore, string configuration, flanges and ancillaries, to the product, throughput and operation, and sources from manufacturers vetted for testing, inspection record and classification acceptance. Documentation travels with the hardware: inspection and test certificates arrive with the hose string, ready for the terminal's or charterer's assurance process.
The project types and sectors this category most often serves.
Composite hose assemblies for STS cargo transfer, specified to product compatibility, bore and pressure, with the certification trail marine assurance expects.
Floating hose strings connecting tankers to buoy moorings and shore manifolds, mainline, tail and reducer sections configured to the mooring and the sea state.
Floating and armoured hose sections supporting dredge discharge and reclamation operations alongside the fixed pipeline.
Transfer hoses for bunkering operations and waterside fuel handling, supplied with the inspection records port control will ask to see.
Vetting, specification and lead-time coordination, handled before the product reaches your site.
Bore, length, pressure rating, product compatibility and end fittings are specified against the transfer operation, not picked from a stock list.
Hoses come from manufacturers vetted for testing and classification acceptance, with inspection and test certificates delivered alongside the hardware.
Hose sections, flanges, gaskets and ancillaries arrive as one coordinated consignment, configured to the string design and the operation's programme.
Indicative capability ranges, full specifications and string designs are provided at quotation.
| Ship-to-ship hoses | Composite constructions in bores from ~150 to ~500 mm, lengths to suit the transfer arrangement |
|---|---|
| Floating hoses | Half-float and full-float strings in bores from ~150 to ~600 mm; mainline, tail and reducer sections |
| Working pressures | Rated to the transfer duty; test and inspection certification per assembly |
| Compatibility | Constructions selected to hydrocarbons, solvents and other cargoes as the operation requires |
