Grimsby, UK -- ContiTech subsidiary, UK-based Dunlop Oil & Marine, has been awarded two orders from the Dutch company, Bluewater Energy Service BV.

For the first order, Dunlop Oil & Marine will supply floating and submarine hoses while buoys and mooring systems will be supplied by Bluewater. The delivery will include more than 200 hoses with inside diameters ranging from 40 to 50 cm.

In the second order, Dunlop Oil & Marine will deliver floating hoses for a unique Tandem system to Marine Well Containment Company based in United States.

The system will allow recovery of crude oil after the original facility has been damaged following a hurricane or other disasters in the Gulf of Mexico.

Dunlop Oil & Marine said it is one of a few suppliers able to provide the complete product range with full certification in accordance with the international GMPHOM 2009 standard (Guide to Manufacturing and Purchasing Hoses for Offshore Moorings). In addition, the hoses are fitted with a special lining resistant to the sulphur content of the crude oil.
