The role of an underwater hose in a single-point mooring system

Single point mooring system is a common structure of offshore platforms. Underwater oil hose plays a vital role in this system by providing a safe and reliable oil delivery channel for the single point.

1. High strength:
Zebung’s submarine oil hoses are made of high strength materials, which can withstand underwater pressure and strong wind and waves, ensuring the safety and reliability of oil transfer. In addition, the material of the submarine hose has excellent corrosion and abrasion resistance, therefore it can be used for a long time in the ocean.

2. Reliability:

Zebung’s underwater hoses have gone through a number of rigorous tests and certifications to ensure their reliability in the sea. When being used, the hoses are regularly inspected and maintained to keep them in the best condition and make sure that there won’t be any safety hazards on offshore platforms and danger in the marine environment.

3. Safety:
Zebung double carcass submarine hoses are equipped with safety valves and leak detection devices. The safety valve can protect the hose from breaking due to excessive pulling force. The leak detection device can detect whether there is oil leakage inside the hose, guaranteeing the safety of oil transportation in the harsh marine environment.

4. Importance:
The submarine hose connects the buoy and the undersea pipeline in the single point mooring system in a flexible way. It is the link of marine oil and gas transportation, and contributes to the stable operation of the single point mooring system.
In conclusion, submarine hose plays an important role in the single-point mooring system, and its performance and reliability determines the safety and operational efficiency of offshore platforms. In order to be perfect and foolproof, Zebung’s submarine oil transfer hose will be strictly inspected before leaving the factory. This is why we are capable of providing premium oil pipeline for offshore platforms through the ages.
