The hose may encounter inevitable damage during use. Timely and accurate maintenance will not only extend the service life, but also effectively avoid damage to the environment.
At present, the CDSR hoses cover all product types in the latest OCIMF standard "Guide to Purchasing and Manufacturing Hoses for Offshore Moorings Fifth Edition 2009", and have been widely used in various facilities such as FPSO, FSO, CBM, and CALM. The hose produced by CDSR has a long service life.
