With 80% of the world’s goods traveling by ship, efficient loading processes are essential for keeping supply chains running smoothly. Marine environments pose unique challenges to loading systems. These systems must withstand corrosion and meet high safety standards to prevent equipment failure, loss of product, and workplace injury. Moreover, each shipyard, dock, or marina must have a system configured to the specific needs for the port’s layout. Here are a few options we sell.
DockReel from SafeRack
SafeRack stepped away from traditional dock loading systems for a new way to move materials on- and off-shore through DockReel. DockReel consolidates loading arm stations, gangways, connectors, and other components in your ship loading system into one complete, customized package. This package includes a wirelessly controlled fluid transfer system, auto-winding hose handling station, and tandem mooring system with flexible, reinforced hoses and breakaway couplings. The result is more floorspace in your port, reduced transfer time, lowered CO2 emissions, and decreased risk of workplace accidents and associated downtime.
Hose System Assemblies from Titeflex US Hose
Titeflex US Hose offers complete hose system assemblies for the harshest marine environments with industry-renowned safe and reliable performance. Their catalog includes options for braided metal, composite, and fluoropolymer hoses for medium to ultra-high-pressure applications. The American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), International Maritime Organization, and Lloyd’s Register of Shipping have certified specific Titeflex US Hose products for onboard vessels.
Marine Fuel & Exhaust Hoses from Continental
Continental manufactures rubber hoses for marine fuel loading and exhaust unloading applications. These rubber hoses are made of nitrile synthetic rubber, allowing them to float on the water if needed. All options are SAE J1527 compliant for safe fuel transfer onto ships, with Type A (fire-resistant) or Type B (non-fire-resistant) options available. Specific hoses comply with ISO 7840 standards and USCG Type A1, A2, or B2 standards. In addition to its hose products, Continental provides suspension coupling solutions to reduce unnecessary vibration and conveyor belt systems for seamless material transfer.
Marine Hoses from NovaFlex
Novaflex provides hoses for fuel, exhaust, bilge, sanitation, and other marine applications. Depending on the application, these hoses come in corrugated, smooth, hard wall, softwall, and PVC styles, with port sizes ranging from 3/16” to 18”. NovaFlex fuel and exhaust hoses comply with ISO 7840, SAE J1570, or SAE J2006, depending on the specific product.
