overview
Loading arms are large pieces of equipment installed in coastal industrial complexes and large oil depots, and are essential for transporting large quantities of oil to ships.
In recent years, with the increasing frequency of natural disasters such as typhoons, floods, and earthquakes, damage to loading arms can lead to prolonged disruptions in the supply and delivery of petroleum and other fuels, significantly impacting business operations. As an emergency alternative system in such situations, we propose a new emergency refueling system utilizing ANGUS offshore hoses and swivel joints. Given the rising risk of major disasters, we urge you to consider this as a business continuity plan (BCP) measure.
Furthermore, since the Fire Service Act stipulates that steel pipes should be used in principle for piping containing hazardous materials, individual approval from the local fire department is required for implementation.
The diagram below shows an example of refueling a tanker from a pier.
