The compact profile of PetalC is perfectly suited for Underbuoy hose applications.
Due to its short-installed length, the PetalC will have minimal interference with nipple hose configuration while still providing the key benefits of an MBC during a possible tanker collision with the Buoy.
Solutions for Marine Breakaway Coupling configuration on subsea hoses under the buoy using nipple hoses.
Subsea hoses can be exposed to extreme weather conditions, strong undercurrents, variable tides and other offshore weather events. This can result in huge amplitude in movement for the subsea hose.
An MBC in an Underbuoy subsea hose configuration should be as compact and lightweight as possible to minimise disruption in the “Chinese lantern” or the “lazy S” hose configuration.
