PETROLIERA Hoses: MTG Safety for Marine Bunkering
Performance and safety for global maritime trade

On the occasion of World Maritime Day, we reflect on the importance of safety and sustainability in maritime operations. Marine bunkering (ship fuel supply) is a crucial activity for global trade and requires absolute reliability standards. A single incident can have serious environmental, economic and legal consequences.
With Petroliera hoses, MTG contributes daily to making bunkering operations safer, providing solutions designed to prevent spills and reduce risks at sea.
The Importance of Marine Bunkering
Bunkering is often performed offshore for safety reasons, specifically to limit the impact of potential incidents near ports. In these operations, fuel transfer hoses are the true "gas station" of commercial and passenger fleets: from cargo ships to container vessels, up to large cruise ships. In this context, the quality of the hoses used is crucial for protecting the marine environment and ensuring continuity of transport activities.
MTG "Petroliera" Hoses: Certified Excellence
The Petroliera line has been developed by MTG to meet the most demanding sector requirements, with products compliant with international standard EN1765. These hoses represent a guarantee of safety and reliability for all shipping companies that require maximum performance.
MTG Strengths:
- Complete quality control: We produce all rubber compounds internally, including the most specialized ones with special characteristics that comply with various regulations. This allows us to monitor the entire production chain and guarantee consistency and high performance from the source.
- Safety beyond standards: We work to exceed the safety margins of our products for each specific application. This additional margin reduces risks even during the most delicate phases of bunkering operations.
- Vulcanized fittings: We supply our hoses with vulcanized fittings, the system we consider safest and most resistant. This choice eliminates weak points and increases reliability even in extreme operating conditions.
- EN1765: The Petroliera line meets all requirements of the international reference standard, which establishes diameters, pressures and construction characteristics to guarantee uniformity and safety at a global level.
MTG and the Future of Maritime Transport
MTG's mission is to support global maritime commerce with reliable and innovative solutions. The Petroliera hoses embody this commitment: products designed to respond to a constantly evolving sector, where environmental safety and operational continuity are absolute priorities.
