tom plates. These large buoys are being designed and assembled individually, completely tailor made to each project. Although consisting of the same core materials, we have a new design development in the Polyform Sub Flowsafe, a hose flotation device for subsea applications. With the hard-shell exterior and tailor-made details for standard bunker hoses and their drum diameter, the Polyform Sub Flowsafe both takes care of the fluid transfer and protects the hose efficiently. In addition to this our entire range of inflatable products can be filled with PUR foam and has an excellent durability. Each product can be adapted to its specific purpose, enabling Polyform® to offer a wide range of solutions consisting of well-proven technologies.

The consequences arising from a broken hose can be extreme: - Contamination due to spillage. - Destruction of the hose requiring repair or replacement at considerable cost that could have been avoided. - Damage to the supply ship putting it out of operation. Both, the vessel and the crew may be exposed to danger. With FlowSafe hose flotation device fitted around the transfer hose these problems may to a large degree be avoided. The hose will float in plain sight, making discharging much simpler and safer. FlowSafe is suitable for use offshore as well as in ports, on canals, lakes and rivers.
