Offshore Marine Hose
VH-MARINETECH CO.,LTD is fully certified to manufacture marine hoses in full compliance with OCIMF – GMPHOM 2009.
GMPHOM Certified
OCIMF 2009
Hoses can be manufactured from 6’’ to 24’’ ID (typically in 30’-35’and 40’ length, or different upon request). Pressure range is from 15 to 21 bar, in compliance with OCIMF.
The hoses have been deeply tested and now are well referenced in the most known terminals (CBM, SPM, FSO, FPSO) on worldwide basis.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the common types of offshore hoses?
Offshore hoses come in various types, including floating hoses, submarine hoses, and transfer hoses. Floating hoses are used for ship-to-ship transfers or to connect a floating production system to a tanker. Submarine hoses are used to transfer fluids between fixed offshore structures or subsea equipment. Transfer hoses are used to transfer fluids from supply vessels to offshore platforms or drilling rigs.
What are the materials used to make offshore hoses?
What are the safety features of offshore hoses?
Offshore hoses incorporate several safety features to prevent spills or other hazardous incidents. These include breakaway couplings, emergency release systems, and monitoring systems that provide real-time information on the hose's condition and integrity.
How are offshore hoses tested?
Pressure Testing: The hose is pressurized with water or another fluid to a specified pressure, usually higher than the maximum working pressure of the hose. The hose is held at this pressure for a specified period to test its ability to withstand pressure without leaking or rupturing.
Tension Testing: The hose is subjected to tension (pulling) forces to test its strength and durability. The hose is typically clamped at both ends, and a force is applied to the center of the hose until it reaches a specified tension level.
Bending Fatigue Testing: The hose is repeatedly bent back and forth to simulate the effects of normal use and environmental factors such as waves, currents, and wind. The number of cycles and the bending radius are specified based on the intended use of the hose.
Leakage Testing: The hose is pressurized with water or another fluid, and the outside of the hose is inspected for leaks using visual or ultrasonic testing.
Electrical Continuity Testing: For hoses that incorporate electrical components, such as heating elements or monitoring sensors, electrical continuity testing is performed to ensure that the components are functioning properly.
Offshore hoses that pass these tests are certified for use in specific applications and environments, and are subject to regular inspections and maintenance to ensure their continued reliability and safety.
Offshore hoses OCIMF Certified?
OCIMF's Hose Guide provides guidance on the selection, use, and maintenance of hoses used in offshore oil and gas operations. The guide includes specifications for hose construction and testing, as well as recommendations for inspection, maintenance, and storage.
Offshore hoses that are certified by OCIMF have undergone a rigorous testing and certification process to ensure their compliance with industry standards and best practices. These hoses are designed and constructed to meet the highest safety and performance standards, and they undergo regular inspections and maintenance to ensure their continued reliability and safety.
