1. A valve arrangement for a hose end coupler of a transfer hose for the offloading of hydrocarbons from an offshore floating production storage and offloading vessel (FPSO) to a shuttle tanker comprising:
a linear valve comprising a linear valve actuator movable between a first position whereat the valve is closed and a second position whereat the valve is open;
a secondary valve comprising a secondary valve actuator movable between a first position whereat the valve is closed and a second position whereat the valve is open;
wherein the linear valve actuator and the secondary valve actuator are operatively coupled such that movement of the linear valve actuator between the first position and the second position effects a corresponding movement of the secondary valve actuator between the first position and the second position; and
the secondary valve comprises a rotating valve having a secondary rotating valve actuator carried within a valve housing that is mounted to be rotatable between a first position whereat the valve is closed and a second position whereat the valve is open.
