HOSE FLOTATION AID

The bulk hose float is now an integral part of the U.K.O.O.A guidelines for safe management & transfer of products offshore. The hose floats are used to support part of the bulk hose that trails in the sea between the rig/platform and the supply vessel during transfer operations.

We offer two types of floats. The conventional lace on type and the new "Anti-Slip" hard plastic one, the RATSEY. The lace on style floats have a net buoyancy of 18kgs (approx). The Ratsey has 40kgs of net buoyancy. Both floats are 1 meter in length. The Ratsey float has been designed to combat the slippage that can happen once the bulk hose has been hung up after use. The Ratsey style float has an internal fixing that grips the hose and is held in place with a bolting system rather than the lace up with cord.

Please contact our sales office for further details.
