Submarine Hoses - Hose Couplings and Petroleum Products

Submarine hoses are heavy-duty flexible hose assemblies used for subsea transfer of crude oil, petroleum products, and marine fuels. They are commonly installed between offshore loading systems, CALM/SBM buoys, tankers, FPSOs, and subsea pipelines, with marine hose couplings fitted for secure connection.

ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Submarine Hoses for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Standards, Certifications & Class Approval

Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.

Applicable Standards & Certification Commonly designed, manufactured, and tested to OCIMF GMPHOM 2009 and ISO 1823. EN 1765 may apply to rubber hose assemblies for oil suction and discharge. Applicable requirements depend on hose type, terminal design, and project specification.
Class Approval Approval or certification may be available from DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, and ClassNK, subject to product type, design review, testing, and project requirements. Classification approval is not automatic for every hose assembly.

Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information

Installation Notes Verify hose bore, length, pressure rating, bend radius, coupling type, electrical continuity, and compatibility with the terminal system before installation. Use approved lifting equipment, avoid twisting and kinking, and install within the manufacturer's minimum bend radius.
Maintenance Tips Inspect regularly for cover damage, abrasion, blistering, leakage, coupling corrosion, deformation, and loss of buoyancy where applicable. Maintain inspection and pressure-test records, flush compatible products when required, and replace hoses at the manufacturer's recommended service interval or after damage.
Safety Notes Depressurize, drain, and isolate the transfer system before disconnecting couplings. Control ignition sources and static electricity, use suitable PPE, verify petroleum compatibility, and follow the vessel's cargo-transfer procedures and the manufacturer's handling instructions.
