Hose buns & hose slings

A hose bun is a lifting device employed to gently elevate hoses, safeguarding them from excessive external forces, and preventing kinking.

Hose handling slings are employed to safeguard hoses from being crushed, bent, or severed. They evenly distribute the weight of discharge hoses across their width, preventing damage.

  • Hose handling buns for lifting and support

  • Hose trolleys for easy maneuvering on deck

Rigging gear

STS and bunkering require more than just the fenders and hoses itself. All operations require a detailed plan, and how the equipment is handled and secured play a key role.

  • Hardware: chain, swivels, masterlinks
  • Lifting slings

Transfer basket

A personnel transfer basket is a preferred mode of transferring personnel as it is safe, fast, and economical. Typically used in offshore operations and marine environments for the safe transfer of personnel between vessels or rigs/platforms. The use of transfer baskets is common in the oil and gas industry, especially during offshore activities such as crew changes, emergency evacuations.
