A method for processing hydrocarbon fluids comprising a processing stage in a process of removing oxygenates, such as glycols or ethers from the hydrocarbon fluids. The processing stage comprises: during loading of the hydrocarbon fluids 262 onto a transport vessel 295, or while the hydrocarbon fluids are located on a transport vessel, injecting water into the hydrocarbon fluids 214, to thereby disperse the injected water in the hydrocarbon fluids. The first injection point may be in conduit transporting Hydrocarbons to the vessel from a offshore facility such as a production platform or vessel. A second injection point may be on a conduit between two containers within the vessel. The water injected hydrocarbon fluid may be retained to allow the water contaminated with oxygenates to separate from the hydrocarbon phase which then may be removed.
