Frequently asked

Marine loading arm questions, answered.

Quick answers to the questions our engineers hear most often. Still unsure? Send us your application details and we’ll confirm the right choice.

How do I know which marine loading arm is suitable for my terminal?
Selection depends on the product being transferred, flow rate, pressure, temperature, vessel range, berth layout, operating envelope, material compatibility, and safety requirements.
What details should I prepare before inquiring about a marine loading arm?
Helpful details include the product handled, flow rate, pressure, temperature, connection size, vessel details, berth layout, operating radius, elevation requirements, and existing terminal conditions.
Why is the operating envelope important?
The operating envelope determines the safe movement range of the loading arm. It must match the vessel connection points, tide variation, berth layout, and terminal operating conditions.
What safety considerations are important for marine loading arms?
Important considerations include emergency release systems, grounding, product compatibility, movement limits, swivel joint condition, pressure rating, and safe operating procedures.
Are spare parts available for marine loading arms?
Spare parts may be available depending on the loading arm brand, model, and configuration. These may include swivel joints, seals, gaskets, bearings, hoses, quick couplers, emergency release components, or other wear parts.
What maintenance is needed for marine loading arms?
Maintenance may include swivel joint inspection, seal checks, lubrication, movement testing, leakage inspection, structural inspection, grounding checks, and emergency release system verification.
What should be checked when upgrading or replacing an existing loading arm?
The existing arm size, material, operating range, connection type, loading conditions, swivel joints, safety system, berth layout, and vessel requirements should be reviewed.
Why is regular maintenance important for marine loading arms?
Regular maintenance helps ensure safe operation, prevent leakage, maintain smooth movement, and reduce risks during loading and unloading operations.
