Alternative Fuel Pumps
Shipping is changing - and so are the fuels that power it. With stricter emissions regulations, volatile fuel prices, and uncertainty about which fuels will lead the future, shipowners and operators need pumps that can adapt.
Alternative fuel pumps are key to ensuring compliance, safety, and efficiency - giving you the flexibility to handle LNG, methanol, ammonia, or LPG with confidence.
The Challenge for Shipowners and Operators
The shift to alternative fuels brings both opportunities and uncertainty. Stricter emissions regulations demand rapid compliance, while volatile fuel prices and evolving technologies make long-term investments risky.
Many shipowners face:
- Uncertainty about fuel choice - which fuels will dominate in the years ahead.
- Compatibility issues - traditional pumps are not built to handle multiple fuels without costly modifications.
- Maintenance challenges - filters clog, downtime increases, and gas-freeing is often required for service.
The result? Higher operating costs, reduced flexibility, and a greater risk of stranded assets.
