Q
What is ABLTS?
A
A self-contained fuel and water system capable of deploying 10,000ft of 6in fuel hose or 4in water hose line from a designated ship to an ABLTS BIU ashore.
11
Q
Location planning considerations for ABLTS
A
- The hose is buoyant and represents a navigational hazard. Must be located clear of the beach approach lanes.
- Site survey prior to deployment of ABLTS needed to consider: water depth, bottom type, beach gradient, tidal range, currents, surf conditions, location on BUI, and beach obstructions/type. Survey done by UCT.

15
Q
How is the ABLTS deployed?
A
- Hydrographic survey performed by UCT.
- LO/LO container and hose reels to CF (1+1)
- BIU team ashore via LARC or UB
- Pass hose to BPT for installation at BIU
- Install hose with anchors and buoys at the couplings
- Air test at 150psi using the ship’s air
- Inspect for leaks
- Ship’s Chief Mate controls pumping OPS
- Purge lines using the pig launcher
