Marine couplings specialist Gall Thomson has introduced a new, neutral buoyancy float for marine breakaway couplings (MBC).
Named UltraFloat, the new float has been specifically designed to fit around the external profile of the MBC. When two are fitted to an MBC they provide neutral buoyancy, eliminating any reduction in buoyancy on the adjacent hoses.
The float has been deliberately shaped to…
