In practical projects, floating hoses are used when liquid transport needs to be completed on water, but laying fixed pipelines is not suitable. This is common in situations such as ship loading and unloading, ship-to-ship operations, or temporary offshore transport.

These hoses can float directly on the water surface, adjusting to changes in water level and ship position, without requiring complex fixing structures. Jerryborg Marine’s floating hoses are often used in these highly flexible operational scenarios, facilitating deployment and retrieval on-site according to actual conditions.

The biggest difference between floating hoses and ordinary transport hoses is that floating hoses must operate on the water surface for extended periods, rather than being fixed in place. Ordinary hoses focus more on the transport itself, while floating hoses also need to consider buoyancy and water surface stability.

Therefore, the structural design of floating hoses balances transport functionality and buoyancy requirements. When providing floating hoses, Jerryborg Marine considers actual surface operations to ensure the hoses are easier to control and more closely resemble real-world working conditions.

In actual operation, floating hoses not only withstand the pressure generated by the internal medium being transported but are also affected by waves, currents, and the relative motion of the vessel. The hose will experience some swaying and bending on the water surface, which is common in floating transport operations.

Therefore, certain requirements are placed on the hose structure and overall stability. Jerryborg Marine’s floating hoses are designed for common operating conditions to ensure the hose remains relatively stable during surface operations.

In practical applications, floating hoses are primarily used to transport liquid media, such as crude oil and refined oil products, on water. The properties of the transported media, the operation time, and the frequency of use will vary from project to project.

These differences will influence the specific hose selection, rather than simply applying a uniform specification. During the project communication phase, Jerryborg Marine typically considers the media type and usage method to match the most suitable floating hose solution, facilitating subsequent operations.

In actual projects, the arrangement of floating hoses is not entirely fixed. Depending on water conditions, vessel location, and operational methods, the hoses may be arranged in a straight line, in an arc, or in combination with other hoses.

This flexibility is a characteristic of floating hoses. During project coordination, Jerryborg Marine typically considers site conditions to help clients select the most suitable floating hose configuration for ease of operation.

In surface transport operations, besides focusing on the transport process itself, attention must also be paid to the management of the hose in its non-operational state. This includes the method of retrieval after operation, storage conditions, and whether there are unnecessary bends or stresses during transport.

These factors will affect the hose’s performance in subsequent operations. When providing floating hoses, Jerryborg Marine takes a practical approach, considering the hose’s performance throughout its lifespan to make it more suitable for repeated deployment in water transport operations.
