A HOSE COUPLING SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR COUPLING A COUPLING STAB OF A HOSE TO THE SYSTEM
The invention relates to a hose coupling system comprising - a receptacle for receiving a coupling stab of a hose and for establishing fluid connection with the coupling stab, the receptacle being connected to a frame; - tilt actuators for tilting the receptacle and for locking the orientation of the receptacle relative to the frame; - a guiding arm for guiding a hoisting line for hoisting the coupling stab into the receptacle, wherein the guiding arm is configured to guide the hoisting line through the receptacle to the frame such that the hoisting line does not contact any other part of the receptacle; and - a guiding arm actuator for retracting the guiding arm from the guiding position so that the coupling stab can couple to the receptacle. The invention further relates to a method for coupling a coupling stab of a hose to the system.
