Svanehøj Launches NCM Pump Series: The Lightest and Most Efficient Marine Engine Room Pumps

Svanehøj, a provider of marine pump solutions, has introduced the NCM Engine Room Pump series aimed at improving liquid handling efficiency on ships. This new series boasts a compact and lightweight design, achieving a weight reduction of up to 15 % compared to existing engine room pumps.

Once fully implemented, the NCM series will provide a capacity range of up to 1 500 m³ and pressures of up to 12 bar, with only 16 pump variants, which simplifies the design and planning of engine rooms. The NCM pumps feature fewer components and only one wear part – the mechanical seal—making assembly, disassembly, and maintenance easier, thus enhancing operational efficiency and reliability, according to the company.

For many years, Svanehøj has been designing and manufacturing a diverse range of engine room pumps tailored for the marine, naval, and offshore sectors. The design of the NCM series is said to minimize the need for spare parts and ensure consistent performance, resulting in fewer operational disruptions.

Moreover, the reduced weight and maintenance needs contribute to a lower environmental impact and improved working conditions for ship crews, as stated by the company. Morten Christian Larsen, managing director of Svanehøj Singapore, commented:

“With the NCM pump series, we’re introducing the lightest, most efficient, and most compact engine room pump in the marine market. By simplifying our design and product portfolio, we provide a range of engine room pumps with broader duty point spans that are highly competitive in terms of price, durability, and performance.”

Svanehøj’s extensive portfolio also includes specialized deepwell and submerged marine pumps for fuel systems, cargo handling, and offshore operations, as well as complete pump room systems, fire water pump packages, and advanced tank gauging systems for LNG and LPG storage.

Additionally, the company supports the industry with inspection, servicing, and calibration for cargo equipment on gas carriers and chemical tankers.
