A tensile overload protection system is provided for a loading hose (16, Fig 6(a)) of an offloading system 18. The tensile overload protection system comprises at least one first tether 104, having a first end and a second end that are coupleable between a predetermined segment 106 of a hose string and a hose string support structure 20, so as to transfer a tensile load above a predetermined threshold from the hose string to the at least one first tether. The tensile overload protection system further comprises a first connection member (108, Fig 8) that is connectable to the hose string and comprises at least one first anchor point adapted to receive and fix the first end of the at least one first tether, and a second connection member 112 that is operatively coupleable to the hose string support structure and comprises at least one second anchor point (118, Fig 10) adapted to receive and fix the second end of the at least one first tether.
