COMPREHENSIVE TESTING
Fendercare’s comprehensive hose test services ensure the reliability and safe life extension of your floating hoses for critical offshore transfers.
Floating hoses are an essential part of offshore transfer operations and failure to maintain can cause serious environmental and financial damage.
Fendercare’s hose testing services prevent failure and damage of your marine hoses to safely extend hose service life. All hose tests are undertaken by local qualified and experienced personnel, to ensure complete compliance and certification in accordance with OCIMF (guidelines for the handling, storage, inspection and testing of hoses in the field) and manufacturer’s recommendations.
We follow our trusted testing procedure to ensure tests are carried out to the highest standard ensuring a reliable and safe life extension of your floating hose equipment.

So it is more useful to check only the electrical discontinuity for tail hoses and tanker rail hoses (specific inner flange design) in accordance with OCIMF requirements.
