Blue Marlin bill stuck in Crude
oil Loading Hose off coast of Angola
Imagine the speed this fish was
moving at to get its snoz through this pipe!!!!!
These are pictures of the
floating load hose on the FPSO Girassol in Angola, Africa that was
pierced by a blue marlin. Load operations were shut down for a few
days while they replaced the hose. For reference, this terminal
produces about 250k barrels of oil a day and this loading hose is
approx 24in in diameter.
