Submerged ballast pumps

Installation of ballast pumps inside the double side ballast tanks in combination with a submerged cargo pump in each cargo tank make the pump room superfluous. This arrangement provides a safer ship design and make more space available for carrying cargo. Submerged ballast pumps have become the standard arrangement in modern tankers and FPSOs.

Increased cargo volume

Normally installed inside two of the double side ballast tanks located aft of the manifold area, one in each side. On oil tankers, a fuel-oil tank can separate the engine room and cargo section.

No pump room required
Larger volume available for cargo
