OUR Marine Loading Systems

The transfer of all fluids and liquefied gases, into the smallest barge or the largest crude carrier may be safely and dependably accomplished using a OUR Marine Loading Arm system. These loading systems are manufactured to the latest requirements of OCIMF and major oil companies. OUR’s single counterweight balance system enables both hydraulically and manually operated arms to be manoeuvred easily and safely, saving both time and manpower. OUR Marine Loading Arms require minimal maintenance and all product seals can be replaced without scaffolding or dismantling the loading arm itself.

Characteristics:

Sizes 4" to 24" diameter

Materials: carbon, stainless and low temperature steels, with PTFE or rubber linings and other special alloys

Temperature range –200° C to + 300° C

All OUR arms, including manually operated models, can be provided with a virtually non-spill Emergency Release System. This ensures, that, in the event of an emergency, the liquid and vapour lines are both sealed after disconnection. Once the emergency sequence commences, the arm automatically rises and returns to its parked position, allowing for immediate departure of the tanker if necessary.
