Preparation for STS Operation: Pneumatic Fenders and STS Rubber Hoses
Ship-to-Ship (STS) transfers are critical for offshore cargo handling, especially for LNG, crude oil, and chemical products. A safe and successful STS operation depends on proper planning and reliable equipment—most importantly, pneumatic rubber fenders and STS rubber hoses.
Key Equipments for STS operation
1.Pneumatic Rubber Fenders
Primary fenders are positioned at the midship to absorb main impact forces. Baby fenders are placed at the bow and stern to protect against hull movement. All fenders are tested according to ISO 17357 and supplied with chain nets and towing accessories.
2.STS Rubber Hoses
STS rubber hoses are designed for offshore transfer of oil, LNG, or chemicals. Reinforced with multiple fabric and reinforced layers for pressure resistance. Standard flanged ends available for fast connection.
3.Supporting Equipment
- Steel reducers to connect hoses of different sizes.
- Guy ropes and accessories for safe positioning and control during the operation.
