Offshore loading systems

Our loading systems ensure minimal maintenance and maximum efficiency – ideal for medium-depth to deepwater applications.

Why offshore loading systems?
Subsea loading systems avoid much of the environmental impact and motion subjected to conventional systems. Because the loading hose is never in contact with the seabed, the offshore loading system requires minimal maintenance and is designed for a 25-year service life.
Core benefits

Application

  • Robust capabilities with increased weather and operational envelope
  • No modification required for the existing dynamic positioning tanker fleet
  • Submersible location eliminates vessel collisions

Features

  • Riser base contains couplers for two flexible flowlines, valves, and control system for platform communication
  • Buoyancy tank equipped with swivels and loading hose
  • Rigid riser held in tension by the buoyancy tank and equipped with a flexible joint at the lower end
