The marine pump is a term collectively used for all pumps that comply with relevant regulations issued by the shipbuilding organizations. It is used onboard a vessel or can be used offshore.
Marine pumps can work as centrifugal pumps, a boiler feed pump, a cooling water pump, condensate pump, cargo oil pump, and several other forms. Designed as a centrifugal pump, marine pumps can perform several functions depending on the fluid handled and the properties required in the material.
When used as the boiler feed pump, it is mostly used in the engine room. When used as condensate or a cooling water pump, it uses fresh water or seawater. It is used as a transverse thruster in the bow. It is used as a ballast pump, Butterworth pump, or cargo oil pump in special pump rooms. These pumps can be used for special duties when used as trimming, anti-heel, or anti-rolling pumps. It can be used as fire-fighting, stripping, or a bilge pump and a variety of other applications as a service pump.
Dock pumps also come under the category of marine pumps. When used as a cooling water pump, it can use either freshwater or seawater. It draws the fluid from the sea via suction lines from sea chests when working as a fire-fighting pump.
