Abstract
In conditions where loading and unloading activities, LNG type ships use the flexible hose in the state of ship-to-ship transfer (STS), then the safety and safety factors must be considered more. In practice, the use of flexible hose on LNG vessels is still few equipped with Emergency Release Couplings or hereinafter referred to as Marine Breakaway Couplings (MBC), because the mention of Emergency Release Couplings (ERC) is used on loading arms. Based on the existence of problems when using flexible hose in improving the security of the loading and unloading process and mitigating the danger in STS conditions on LNG-type vessels, researchers have a problem formulation that is trying to be raised in the research about the urgency of using flexible hose, namely why the use and application of Marine Breakaway couplings (MBC) in flexible hose in the process of loading and unloading LNG vessels is required. This study also has the aim to improve the safety and safety of the LNG loading and unloading process in STS conditions by using flexible hose. By using qualitative research methods, researchers found a problem solving that is to implement the use of automatic separator devices in flexible hose. By solving these problems, it is expected that when the loading and unloading process above the LNG vessel can be carried out with a good level of security.
