Naval and Marine Salvage Pumps
Britton Maritime manufactures our own range of Diesel Fire and Salvage Pumps which is currently in use with Royal Australian Navy and the Royal New Zealand Navy, including several other government and commercial organisations.
Our larger FSP36 pump, which was specifically designed for use on naval ships, fully complies with all military specifications introduced specifically for Fire Defence and Safety. It is one of the most reliable pieces of equipment currently in use. Because an onboard fire is capable of disrupting the ship’s firefighting, pumping, cooling and electrical systems, there exists a need for a self-powered pump which is adapted to draw water from the sea, from up to 7 meters below, to put out the fire and our pumps do just this.
Although petrol engines can be used, diesel-powered pumps comply with various maritime and naval regulations. Diesel motors are usually heavy and bulky, however our FSP36 pump eliminates this, and provides the necessary power, compactness, weight, and reliability required for naval applications. Our smaller YDP20MH pump provides the reliability of the FSP36, but in portable version. All our pump models are air deployable which has been undertaken by AMSA and also the Royal New Zealand Navy.

FSP36
The FSP36 fully complies with all military specifications introduced specifically for Fire Defence and Safety. The FSP36 has successfully passed stringent Military specification tests carried out by Australian Defence Science Technology Organisation (DSTO) and the Royal Australian Navy. The FSP36 is working towards being certified ’Germanischer Lloyd Certification’ (GL) for the Anzac Class Frigates. The engine is a water cooled marine grade diesel engine, which for a portable pump is to our knowledge a world first. Being water cooled the FSP36 does not have the dangers of overheating as in an air cooled engine.

YDP20MH
The YDP20MH is the smaller of BMS’ diesel fire pumps. This portable-style pump is based on a vertical 4-cycle, air cooled Yanmar diesel engine with a self-priming centrifugal pump making the YDP20MH capable of pumping a maximum of 500 litres (132.1 U.S GAL.) per minute.
This pump is used extensively for military and commercial applications, such as off shore drilling rigs and ocean bound yachts and is currently the only unit with DNV certification.

YDP20AD
The YDP20AD is capable of air delivery from airplanes or helicopters. The pump is fitted into a special heavy duty canister complete with hose kit and fittings to enable it to be delivered to ships and vessels in distress. This pump is currently in use with Australian Maritime and Safety Authority ( AMSA). For more information please download our YDP20AD brochure below.
