Floating Supply Hose
New concept of floating supply hoses to the offshore drilling and production sector. This concept combines the floating characteristics of classical large bore floating hoses with long lenghts small bore hoses between 3“– 6“ NB. The system consists of: a floating hose produced in long lenghts which is cut and assembled to the required final lenghts in our work shop including sufficient hose to connect to the supply vessel. The floating hose section can be supplied in lenghts up to 35m. The floating material is well proven closed cell foam used in OCIMF hoses with an additional rubber cover. a platform hose connecting the floating hose to the platform. This hose can be supplied with additional integrated wear strips. This hose can be supplied in lenghts up to 120 m. Unique advantages: • no more loose floating elements in the hose line which get lost, entangled on reels or shifting on the hose line • long lenghts without metal parts reducing risk of propellor damage • basically any lenghts and line configurations are possible using components readily available in our stocks • 3” thick floating material supports all media with max density 3.0
