A Study into Crane Loads Associated with Hose Handling at Offshore Terminals/Исследование крановых нагрузок, связанных с перемещением шлангов на морских терминалах

Издание на английском языке
OCIMF members have expressed concerns about the capability of tanker hose handling cranes to safely handle the lengths of hose typically associated with cargo operations at offshore facilities (Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) and single point mooring (SPM)). These concerns have been prompted by the increased use of double carcass hoses, which has resulted in an increased weight of each equivalent length of floating hose. In addition, the phasing out of single hull vessels has led to today’s double hull tankers, which have greater freeboard, with the result that the total length (and therefore total weight) of hose string to be lifted has also increased.
