Marine Terminal Reel
MTR is REELPOWER's terminal hose reel system for marine loading and unloading — a simpler, more reliable, lower-cost alternative to conventional marine loading arms for inland and coastal terminal operators. Built on RPME's proven Raw Water (seawater) Reel architecture, which is currently in service on 70+ jackup rigs worldwide.

REELPOWER is U.S.-manufactured, giving a faster lead-time and local-support advantage. This also positions MTR to meet "domestic end product" requirements under the Buy American Act (BAA) and Build America, Buy America Act (BABA), a real edge on federally funded (MARAD/DOT) port projects.

PRODUCT AT A GLANCE
- Configuration: 8″ ID × 75 ft hose (initial configuration), 300 psi rating.
- Procurement lead time: 22–26 weeks.
- Speed: ~3 min deploy / ~2 min retrieve.
- Availability target: 99.5%.
- Multi-product loading: can handle multiple distinct bulk fluid or chemical products simultaneously, regardless of vessel manifold configuration.
- Repair economics: based on the comparison table below, MTR repair cost runs ~83% lower and repair duration ~67%+ shorter than a conventional loading arm.
- Space & weight: MTR weighs well under half of a comparable conventional loading arm, a significantly simpler, yet safer, more reliable, and more efficient solution overall.
- Hose compatibility: the reel system can run multiple hose constructions (stainless steel, rubber, or composite) to suit a wide range of existing chemical and refined-product cargoes across common terminal applications.
- Additional value drivers: eliminated working-at-height exposure, reduced leak/spill/fire risk, reduced trip hazards from hose handling, extended hose service life.
