NWP 4-01.4d. Secure the coupling to the first free trolley(Figure 3-24).e. Prepare the riding line for use in easing out thehose.(4) DELIVERY SHIPHaul in on the saddle whips to retrieve the hose.(5) RECEIVING SHIPFor a Robb or breakable-spool coupling, use theriding line to ease the hose clear of the deck edge, andrelease the bitter end of the riding line.(6) DELIVERY SHIPWhen the hose has been secured, tend slack in thespan wire and signal the receiving station to prepare totrip the spanwire pelican hook.(7) RECEIVING SHIP1. Haul in on the easing-out line to take the strain offthe pelican hook. The station phone talker advisesthe delivery station: “Ready to trip the pelican hook.”2. On signal from the delivery station, trip the pelican hook.3. Ease the span wire clear of the deck edge, and releasethe easing-out line.4. Signal the delivery station to haul in the spanwire and station phone line.(8) DELIVERY SHIP1. Haul in the span wire and station phone line.2. Disconnect the phone/distance line.(9) RECEIVING SHIPHaul in the phone/distance line.4.9.6 Emergency Breakaway for NontensionedSpanwire Fuel Rig. Emergency breakawayis an accelerated breakaway using the procedures describedin the preceding paragraph: The following proceduresalso apply:1. Use emergency breakaway signals in Appendix C.2. Clear station of all nonessential personnel.3. Stop pumping immediately.4. Release the probe or close/disconnect couplingand riding line. Start retrieving all hoses.5. Trip the spanwire pelican hook.6. If unable to disconnect the span wire, continueto pay out until all wire is free of the drum.7. If unable to disconnect the coupling:a. If the connection has a breakable spool, hit thecoupling with a sledge hammer until the couplingbreaks.b. If the connection does not have a breakablespool, permit the hose to part.4.10 CLOSE-IN FUEL RIGIn the close-in fuel rig (Figure 4-3), the hose is supportedby whips leading from three hose saddles tobooms, kingposts, or other high projections on the deliveryship. When the rig is used to fuel a large ship,the hose may also be supported by an outer bight lineled from the outboard saddle to a high point on the receivingship.Hardware for delivery and receiving stations is listedin Figures 4-11 and 4-12 at the end of the chapter.4.10.1 Rigging the Close-In Fuel Rig. Figure 4-4contains information about the saddle whips, retrievingline, and outer bight line (optional). The outer bight lineis used only when fueling large ships.When the hose and lines are properly made up,swing the fueling boom out 90° and hoist the head ofthe boom just clear of the ship’s rail. Hoist the hose inboardto outboard as follows:1. Two-block the inboard saddle.2. Hoist the No. 1 and No. 2 saddles to a point justbelow the inboard saddle.3. Using the retrieving line saddle whip, hoist thebight of hose, which is supported by the inboardriding line fitting, to a point just below the outboardNo. 1 saddle.4.10.2 Preparing the Close-In Fuel Rig. The fittingon the outboard end of the hose can be a Robb coupling(Figure 3-11) or a breakable-spool coupling (Figure 3-12).4-6 ORIGINAL
