Floating hoses are
used on different types of body of water (sea, lake and smaller pools of
water). Their most common applications are as follows: loading and unloading of
petroleum in ports, transfer of crude oil from an oil rig to a ship, transfer
of potable water to a ship, refuelling of vessels, transfer of dredge spoil
(sand and gravel) from dredgers, etc.
The hose remains afloat, clearly visible so as to protect it against damage by the ship’s propeller and allow the vessel to be steered.
The buoyancy of these
hoses is provided by floaters fastened on a standard hose or in the case of
special double carcass hoses, their special construction, where the base hose
is covered with layers of nonabsorbable and unsinkable foam which make the outer,
floating hose.
