An offloading system comprising: a rotatable hose reel configured to releasably store a hose string, an offloading connection adapted to connect to the hose string, and a tensile overload protection system, comprising: at least one first tether, having a first end and a second end, coupleable between a predetermined segment of the hose string and said rotatable hose reel so as to transfer a tensile load above a predetermined threshold from the hose string to said at least one first tether; a first connection member connectable to the hose string and comprising at least one first anchor point adapted to receive and fix said first end of said at least one first tether; a second connection member operatively coupleable to said rotatable hose reel and comprising at least one second anchor point (118, 120), operatively mounted inside said rotatable hose reel and adapted to receive and pivotably fix said second end of said at least one first tether, and a predetermined groove, cut into said rotatable hose reel so as to allow said second end of said at least one first tether to pass through a wall of said rotatable hose reel and attach to said at least one second anchor point. a rotatable hose reel configured to releasably store a hose string, an offloading connection adapted to connect to the hose string, and a tensile overload protection system, comprising: at least one first tether, having a first end and a second end, coupleable between a predetermined segment of the hose string and said rotatable hose reel so as to transfer a tensile load above a predetermined threshold from the hose string to said at least one first tether; a first connection member connectable to the hose string and comprising at least one first anchor point adapted to receive and fix said first end of said at least one first tether; a second connection member operatively coupleable to said rotatable hose reel and comprising at least one second anchor point (118, 120), operatively mounted inside said rotatable hose reel and adapted to receive and pivotably fix said second end of said at least one first tether, and a predetermined groove, cut into said rotatable hose reel so as to allow said second end of said at least one first tether to pass through a wall of said rotatable hose reel and attach to said at least one second anchor point. at least one first tether, having a first end and a second end, coupleable between a predetermined segment of the hose string and said rotatable hose reel so as to transfer a tensile load above a predetermined threshold from the hose string to said at least one first tether; a first connection member connectable to the hose string and comprising at least one first anchor point adapted to receive and fix said first end of said at least one first tether; a second connection member operatively coupleable to said rotatable hose reel and comprising at least one second anchor point (118, 120), operatively mounted inside said rotatable hose reel and adapted to receive and pivotably fix said second end of said at least one first tether, and a predetermined groove, cut into said rotatable hose reel so as to allow said second end of said at least one first tether to pass through a wall of said rotatable hose reel and attach to said at least one second anchor point.
