The future of fuel, handled safely

The global maritime industry is undergoing one of its most significant transformations since the shift from sail to steam.

Driven by stringent International Maritime Organization (IMO) mandates and an urgent collective responsibility to mitigate climate change, the transition to low and zero-carbon fuels is no longer a distant vision, it is actively reshaping global fleets today.

Meeting tomorrow’s demands today

  • Lower operational risk — reduces the likelihood of spills and localised leaks during fuel transfers.

  • Safer onboard design — eliminates the traditional pump room and reduces hazardous areas below deck.

  • Reliable fuel feed — consistent supply under all operating conditions.

  • Flexible vessel layout — frees space for cargo or fuel storage by removing the pump room footprint.

  • Simplified maintenance planning — maintenance from inside the tank with 5-year condition-based service intervals.

Key Operational Benefit See the layout

Think outside the pump room

  • Traditional pump rooms:
    EX Zone space, leakage points, costly safety infrastructure, wasted footprint.

  • Framo:
    eliminates pump room, avoids bottom/side penetrations, isolates risk by design
