OCIMF Marine Hoses

Hongruntong Marine supplies OCIMF hose and OCIMF oil hose assemblies designed to meet OCIMF guidelines for hoses. Durable, low-permeation offshore marine hoses for STS, bunkering, and terminal use.

As a certified manufacturer, we produce OCIMF marine hoses that strictly adhere to OCIMF guidelines for hoses. Our comprehensive product range includes specialized OCIMF oil hose and OCIMF offshore marine hose solutions engineered for the most demanding marine transfer operations. Each OCIMF hose is manufactured with advanced materials and rigorous quality control processes to ensure complete compliance with international standards. From ship-to-ship transfers to terminal operations, our OCIMF marine hoses deliver reliable performance and enhanced safety for critical offshore applications.

1. Floating Offshore Oil Hoses

Floating hoses feature integrated buoyancy modules—foam blocks or sealed collars—that keep the hose on the water’s surface, preventing snaking or submersion during dynamic wave and current action.

Key Features

• Certified Design: Meets GMPHOM 2009 requirements for offshore bunkering.

• Buoyancy System: Modular floats maintain consistent freeboard even under tension.

• High-Pressure Reinforcement: Multi-ply textile layers and helical steel wire for working pressures up to 25 bar.

• Oil-Resistant Tube: NBR/EPDM compound compatible with crude, diesel, and LPG.

• Durable Cover: UV- and abrasion-resistant rubber guards against chafe and marine growth.

Applications

• Platform bunkering and supply operations

• FSU/FSO connections for floating storage

• Temporary emergency transfer lines

2. Submarine (Underwater) Oil Hoses

Submarine hoses are designed for permanent or semi-permanent installation on the seabed, enabling direct connection between subsea manifolds and floating facilities.

Key Features

• GMPHOM 2009 Compliance: Rated for subsea use under the same rigorous safety standards.

• Weighted Design: Integrated ballast or lead-filled layers ensure positive sinkage and stable seabed positioning.

• Anticorrosive Construction: Inner layers of oil-resistant rubber, reinforced with polyester cords, are overlaid by a corrosion-proof outer sheath.

• Flexibility at Depth: Engineered to retain pliability in low temperatures and high static pressures.

• Abrasion & fatigue resistance for long-term seabed service.

Applications

• Permanent riser and flowline connections

• Subsea loading and offloading systems

• Deepwater FPSO and tethered buoy transfers

FAQ

Q1: What does “OCIMF hose” mean?
A: “OCIMF hose” commonly refers to marine hose products and assemblies manufactured and documented to meet the inspection, testing and traceability expectations described in OCIMF guidelines for hoses used in offshore and STS operations.

Q2: Can you provide documentation required by terminals and charters?
A: Yes. Each OCIMF oil hose delivery can include full test certificates, inspection reports, material traceability and handling instructions required by terminals and vessel operators.

Q3: How do you ensure low permeation performance?
A: We select low-permeation liners and validate performance through permeation testing and material certification; construction choices are tailored to the fluid and duty cycle.

Q4: Are third-party inspections available?
A: Yes — third-party witnessing and certification can be arranged for critical projects and tender compliance.

Q5: Do you supply complete assemblies for offshore use?
A: Absolutely. We deliver complete OCIMF hose assemblies — hoses fitted with end connections, protection, spools and documentation ready for commissioning.

Q6: How do I select the correct OCIMF offshore marine hose for my operation?
A: Provide the fluid type, temperature range, working pressure, hose length, end connections and service (STS, bunkering, floating terminal). Our engineering team will recommend the appropriate construction and testing scope aligned with OCIMF guidance.
