After hoisting the floating hose it is fixed and locked in the bow coupling, still leaving enough freedom of movement of the hose to operate, even in tough conditions. This flexibility allows the dredging vessel to approach from any angle, minimising connection time.

Why choose our bow couplings?

Industry standard
Floating lines quickly attached
Suitable for use in rough weather

Industry standard

Using industry standards, our bow couplings are compatible with other vessels and pipelines. Bow couplings are available with coupling diameters from 400 to 1,100 mm and pressure up to 30 bar.

Floating lines quickly attached

Our bow couplings allow for quick and efficient attachment of floating pipelines, significantly increasing uptime and operational efficiency.

Suitable for use in rough weather

Taking into account the operation and movements during coupling in rough weather conditions, our bow coupling is robustly designed.

Options

Rainbow nozzle
Rainbow as an integral part of the tower for easy switching between shore pumping and rainbow operation. Alternatively, if switching is less frequent and simplification of the onboard pipeline is desired, a plug-in rainbow nozzle is available.
Bow coupling winch
For fast and safe hauling and hoisting of the floating pipe line.
Remote control
For safe operation with good overview of the operation.
