What this service covers
Marine Hose Supply & Assembly
Fairtex supplies and assembles integrated hose systems for offshore and marine transfer applications, including cargo offloading hoses, tandem floating hoses, dock loading hoses, dump hoses, jumper hoses, bunkering hoses, drilling mud hoses, and seawater uptake hoses. Hose assemblies are configured to operational requirements, transfer media, pressure ratings, reel dimensions, and offshore environmental conditions.
Floating Hose Reel & Loading Station Systems
We provide design support, procurement coordination, assembly, and installation of floating hose reel systems and bunker loading stations for FPSO and FSO facilities. Systems can be configured for hydraulic, pneumatic, or electric drive arrangements depending on operational requirements and available utilities. Reel systems are designed to minimize deck footprint while supporting safe hose deployment, retrieval, and storage in offshore environments.
Testing, Certification & Compliance Support
Fairtex performs hose pressure testing, inspection verification, integrity checks, and certification support to confirm operational readiness and compliance with applicable offshore transfer requirements. Our team supports maintenance planning, hose replacement campaigns, and periodic integrity assessments aimed at reducing downtime exposure and improving transfer reliability.
Site Installation, Maintenance & Revamp Services
Our field teams execute offshore and onshore installation, maintenance, replacement, and revamp activities for existing hose systems and transfer infrastructure. Fairtex supports shutdown coordination, offshore intervention planning, hose change-out operations, and commissioning support for both permanent and temporary transfer systems.
OEM & Local Content Partnership Support
To support Nigerian local content compliance and technical delivery capability, Fairtex partners with Trelleborg for technical support associated with hose reel systems and bunkering transfer solutions. This collaboration supports localized assembly, technical coordination, and maintenance support within Nigeria while maintaining alignment with recognized offshore transfer standards and OEM requirements.
