   The system employed a 10 in (254 mm) [clarification needed] towing hawser, two 6 in (150 mm) breast lines to prevent the rupture of the refueling hose between the two vessels, and 50 ft (15 m) lengths of 4 in (100 mm) rubber fuel hose. A pump was used to speed up the transfer of fuel.

3. Cable fairing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_fairing

   A cable fairing is a structure attached to a towed cable designed to streamline the flow around the cable, primarily in marine environments.. Cables are faired primarily for two reasons: (1) to reduce normal drag and thus achieve more depth for a given cable scope and speed; and (2) to eliminate cable vibration caused by vortex shedding, commonly known as cable strum.

4. Single buoy mooring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_buoy_mooring

   The heart of each buoy is the product transfer system. From a geostatic location, e.g. a pipeline end manifold (PLEM) located on the seabed, this system transfers products to the offtake tanker. The basic product transfer system components are: Flexible subsea hoses, generally referred to as “risers” Floating hose string(s) Marine Breakaway ...

   SAIL submarine cable project was jointly invested and constructed by China Unicom and Camtel. The cable landing points are operated by Camtel in Kribi and by China Unicom Brazil in Fortaleza. China Unicom provided project management and business operation support, while the engineering construction was contracted from Huawei Marine Networks ...

6. Submarine power cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Submarine_power_cable

   A central oil channel in the conductor facilitates oil flow in cables up to 525 kV for when the cable gets warm but rarely used in submarine cables due to oil pollution risk with cable damage. Mass-impregnated cables have also a paper-lapped insulation but the impregnation compound is highly viscous and does not exit when the cable is damaged.
