Double Carcass Floating Hose

EMSTEC provide a range of high quality, high performance, oil suction and discharge hoses, extensively used at offshore moorings throughout the world. The EMSTEC Double Carcass Floating hoses are utilized in high integrity surface installations such as EPS, SBM, CALM, SALM offloading in addition to FPSO, FSO Tandem offloading configurations.

In addition to the standard hose carcass (commonly termed ‘primary’ carcass), EMSTEC Double Carcass Floating hoses incorporate an additional second carcass designed to contain any product escaping from the standard carcass as a result of a slow leak or sudden failure. An effective, robust and reliable leak detection and indication system is provided.

EMSTEC Double Carcass Submarine hoses fully comply with the requirements of the "OCIMF Guide to Purchasing, Manufacturing and Testing of Loading and Discharge Hoses for Offshore Moorings, Fourth Edition – 1991".

All hoses are designed and manufactured under a quality system in accordance with ISO 9001, and is in compliance with Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 97/23/EC module H (hoses carry CE marking as required).

* NOTE:
The EMSTEC Doublee Carcass Floating hoses designed for special end connection applications are utilized in high integrity surface installations such as FPSO, FSO Tandem offloading configurations offshore Brazil.

The special hoses are installed at the ends of the floating hose string, connected to the FPSO/FSO hang-off Emergency Release Coupling (ERC) and the Shuttle Tanker bow loading system Hose End Valve (HEV).

The additional buoyancy within the special FPSO end hose will support the ERC on the surface of the sea, if released in an emergency. The Shuttle Tanker end hose will support the HEV on the surface of the sea, during hose transfer and/or emergency release.
