Offshore Hose
- GMPHOM 2009
- CBM, SPM, FSO, FPSO
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.
Offshore Marine Hose
Tanker Rail Barbell Buoyant Hose
Marine floating tanker rail hoses are acting as connections between the tanker and tail hoses and crossing the tanker rail. GMPHOM 2009 also need to be complied with.
Mainline Full Floating Hose
Marine floating hoses are a significant piece of equipment for offshore crude oil transfer solutions, while marine floating mainline hoses are the most used of all floating hoses.
Tail Full Floating Hose
Floating tail oil hose are usually used for the combination of mainline hose and tanker rail hose. It looks almost the same as the mainline hose, but it shares the same important tasks.
Fully Buoyancy Control Hose
The marine floating hose can be tested according to either the GMPHOM 2009 quality standards or the standards specified by the customer, ensuring high safety and performance of marine hoses for using in the marine environment.
One End Reinforced Half Floating Hose
Marine half floating one end reinforced hose is with less quantities of the hose string, but its effects cannot be ignored. Its reinforced end can well withstand the multi-directional tensile force caused by ocean currents of hose string and ensure its normal operation.
Mainline Submarine Hose
Submarine hose is suitable for use in connecting with subsea manifolds, and main submarine pipelines fitted in the hose strings on the single buoy mooring system. Single carcass hose and double carcass hose can be designed and manufactured according to the actual offshore application.
Submarine Hose With Location Collars
Submarine hose is suitable for use in connecting with subsea manifolds, and main submarine pipelines fitted in the hose strings on the single buoy mooring system. This subsea hoses are available with single carcass and double carcass design.
One End Reinforced Submarine Hose With Location Collars
Designed without float collards, the submarine hose features textile reinforced bonded elastomers used as the lining. This one end reinforced subsea hose is used for connecting with the buoy systems, subsea manifolds, etc.

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.
