Hi you all,
I like to know which is the best position to install a Marine Break Away Coupling. The erector recommended to we according to their experience install it at middle hose string but, the MBCA manufacturer indicates in the instruction mannual that it be connected to the Pipeline End Manifold.
What do you think about...?
Thanks in advance

RE: MBAC
Is a multi-buoy marine terminal equipped with 6 submersible hoses for hydrocarbons in diameters 6 "; 8"; 10 "and 12". The length of each hose is 96 meters. the deep at location is 20mts (66Ft). The horizontal distance from PLEM to the ship is 30mts. Pressure: GLP 304psi; Fuel Oil(two hoses),Diesel & Gasoline 124psi.
RE: MBAC
I guess that's why the vendor does it low down - the subsea item is strong and will cause a big force to allow higher confidence or breakaway as opposed to possible other failures before the MBAC elsewhere.
No one will give you grief for following the vendor recommendation, but you do need to think this through all the way. If your vessel ended up dragging a hose with it of whatever length, would it be at risk of fouling the props? What's the least worse option??
