The importance of Field Verified in achieving reliable Marine Breakaway Coupling activations Gall Thomson recently reported there were 16 known activations of its Marine Breakaway Couplings (MBCs) during 2023. The activations were in response to offshore emergencies during media transfer and the activations occurred in nine different countries around the world. Each MBC operated exactly

Europе In a startling dеvеlopmеnt, a coordinatеd cybеrattack has targеtеd sеvеral kеy oil rеfining ports and storagе facilitiеs across Europе, causing widеsprеad concеrn about thе vulnеrability of critical еnеrgy infrastructurе. Thе attack, charactеrizеd by its sophistication and prеcision, has disruptеd opеrations and raised alarms ovеr potential impacts on thе global oil supply and markеt pricеs.

  LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) is often considered an environmentally-friendly marine fuel alternative to traditional heavy fuel oil or diesel options, and here are several reasons why LNG as ship fuel should be considered beneficial: Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions with Solar Technology LNG fuel emissions are lower compared to traditional marine fuels, producing lower levels

This review is of the commonly used Gall Thomson Petal Valve Marine Breakaway Coupling (MBC). Application Hose offshore transfer of high viscosity media such as crude oil between Floating Production Storage and Offloading platforms (FPSOs) and tankers or between tankers or vessels. Purpose Gall Thomson Petal Valve offshore Marine Breakaway Couplings are designed to protect

Application Hose offshore transfer of media between Floating Production Storage and Offloading platforms (FPSOs) and tankers or between tankers or vessels – specifically relevant to reel applications. Purpose The offshore marine breakaway coupling is designed to protect a transfer operation in an emergency. This coupling will automatically activate due to either one of two ends
