Gall Thomson: Pioneers and Leaders in Emergency Release Couplers (MBC)

As local agents for Gall Thomson in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Belize, and Nicaragua, it is an honor to represent a leading British company worldwide in the design, manufacturing, and supply of Marine Breakaway Couplings (MBC). These safety devices are essential in fluid transfer in marine environments. Since its foundation in 1979, Gall Thomson has been a pioneer in this technology, setting safety and efficiency standards in the offshore industry.

What is a Marine Breakaway Coupling (MBC)? An MBC is a safety device installed in fluid transfer systems, such as marine hoses. It activates automatically in emergency situations, such as excessive line tension or a sudden pressure surge. Upon activation, the MBC separates and shuts off the flow at both ends, preventing spills and protecting both personnel and the environment.

Main products and technologies:

Petal Valve: Designed for high-viscosity products like crude oil, it offers zero head loss and is fully "piggable," facilitating cleaning and maintenance.
Flip-Flap Valve: Ideal for low-viscosity products such as LPG and kerosene, it provides a 100% hermetic seal and is compact and lightweight.
Petal17 and PetalC Models: These are recent evolutions incorporating significant improvements in design and performance. The PetalC, for instance, reduces the installed length by 60% and decreases axial load by up to 30%, making it particularly useful in FPSO reel applications.

Gall Thomson’s expertise spans a wide range of applications in the oil and gas industry, as well as in other sectors where safe liquid transfer is crucial:

Ship-to-Ship (STS) Loading and Unloading Operations: Gall Thomson's ERCs are a vital component to ensure safety in oil and gas transfer between vessels, where sea conditions and movements can create risks.
Single Point Mooring (SPM) Systems: They are widely used in offshore terminals to protect transfer hoses from collisions or excessive tension, providing controlled disconnection in an emergency.
Bunkering Vessels: They ensure safe and efficient bunkering operations, preventing spills.
Coastal and Floating Terminals: Their solutions are implemented in various configurations to protect facilities and the environment
