The fuel system in ships ensures the storage, transfer, and delivery of fuel to engines and boilers. Marine pumps, such as fuel transfer and booster pumps, maintain proper pressure and flow within the system. These components are critical for efficient and safe vessel operation.

Fuel System in Ship:

- Size: Varies based on vessel type (typically 500-50,000 liters for tanks).

- Grade: Marine Diesel Oil (MDO), Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO), or Marine Gas Oil (MGO).

- Viscosity: 2-700 cSt (depending on fuel type and temperature).

- Buoyancy: Not applicable (fuel is stored in fixed tanks).

- Material: Carbon steel, stainless steel, or coated tanks for corrosion resistance.

Marine Pumps:

- Size: Flow rates from 10-10,000 m³/h, pressure up to 40 bar.

- Grade: Suitable for marine fuels (HFO, MDO, MGO) or bilge/ballast applications.

- Viscosity Handling: Up to 700 cSt (for fuel transfer pumps).

- Buoyancy: Not applicable (pumps are fixed installations).

- Material: Cast iron, bronze, or stainless steel for corrosion resistance.
