Abstract
Due to the demand for oil production in varying water depth regions, the advantage of flexible buoyant conduits has led to an increase in bonded marine hoses for fluid transfer and (un)loading operations. The fluid transfer system for bonded marine hoses is dependent on floating offshore structures (FOS). This paper presents an overview of different systems for sustainable fluid transfer and (un)loading operations via FOS, such as Single Point Mooring (SPM) systems. SPMs are component aspects of the techno-economic design and FOS operation. This review aims to present sustainable fluid transfer technologies while addressing the subject of bonded marine hoses based on application, configuration, test models, hose selection criteria, hose-mooring configurations and operational views. This paper also includes an overview of the hose dynamics, with the loading and unloading (or discharging) techniques for sustainable fluid transfer via marine bonded hoses, based on operational challenges encountered. To dynamically present the hose performance in this review, an overview of the test methods’ guidance as specified in available industry standards was conducted. The pros and cons of marine hose application were also presented. Finally, this study presents different marine hose types and novel design configurations applied in implementing hose-mooring systems. Some concluding remarks with recommended solutions on the technology were presented in this review.

The hose displacement is obtained for two cases, by considering the temporary and permanent elongations as given in Equations (5) and (6), whereby L1 is the overall length of the hose assembly measured during the initial pressure application of 0.7 bar, L2 is the overall length of the hose assembly measured during the pressure application of 0.7 bar increased over a period of 5 min to half the Rated Working Pressure (RWP), and L3 is the overall length of the hosefinal assembly measured after the final pressure application of 0.7 bar over from of the pressure application of 0.7 bar from of 1.5 ×
Summary
There have been notable significant developments in the offshore marine industry [1,2,3,4,5,6]. As Multiple Buoy Mooring (MBM), typically consists of the following main components: mooring system with buoys, mooring legs and anchor pipeline end All these connection components are utilized on points, the marine hose viamanifold a variety of sustainable mooring methods, such as these three formations. The tanker moored to the SAL system may weathervane, as dropping the hose and the mooring lines to the seafloor completes the disconnection process [31,32,33,34,35] These configurations require marine hose for installation, delivery, and various fluid transfer operations, the need for this research. This paper identifies some salient design configurations for fluid transfer using bonded marine hoses, such as the SPM mooring systems An overview of their application and different design configurations, such as CALM buoys, was presented.
