Reliable firefighting pumps engineered for critical response

Modern container vessels face increasing safety demands as ship size, cargo volume and deck height continue to grow. Container ship fires have shown how quickly flames can spread across multiple stacks, causing operational, financial and environmental consequences.

Effective firefighting systems rely on powerful and dependable fire pumps capable of supplying stable water flow during critical conditions.

IRON Pump designs vertical inline centrifugal firefighting pumps with optimized RPM levels to secure strong hydraulic performance and easy maintenance.

IRON Pump works closely with industry leading operators and technical partners to develop firefighting pumps that match the evolving safety standards. Increasing safety requirements from classification societies, including DNV, have helped define a new generation of marine fire pumps with improved performance, compact design and easier service access.

Fire protection at sea and offshore

Under intense conditions at sea, safety is not to be compromised. Should the unwanted event of a fire arise, a fire water pump system can be the difference between life and death.

Fire water pumps are considered as primary components in the fire protection systems on board all ships.

Our solutions include diesel driven fire pumps, electric fire pumps and complete fire pump packages engineered to meet classification requirements and NFPA20 compliance.

Fire pumps are typically configured with a main pump and a feeding pump. The main pump is driven by a diesel engine or an electric motor, while the feeding pump is hydraulic driven. Both solutions can be delivered as container mounted units for flexible installation on vessels or offshore platforms.

IRON Pump’s fire water pump systems specifications range from 550 to 3000 m³/h and pressure up to 150 mWC.

The pumps supplied for offshore installation comply with NFPA20 and class regulations.

Our fire water pump systems support:

  • FSOs, FPSOs, LNGs and FLNGs
  • Offshore platforms and terminals
  • Ports and coastal installations

Frequently asked question

A firefighting pump supplies high pressure water to monitors, sprinklers and fixed extinguishing systems. It is designed to deliver stable flow and pressure during emergency conditions.

A firefighting pump draws water from a sea chest or dedicated tank and boosts it to the required pressure before distributing it to the ship’s firefighting system. On marine and offshore vessels, pumps often operate at higher RPMs to meet long-distance or high-elevation demands.

A fire pump is the core pumping unit. A fire pump system includes the pump, its control panel, valves, sensors, redundancy units and, in some cases, diesel or hydraulic driven auxiliary pumps. It forms a complete firefighting solution.

Firefighting pumps support deck fire monitors, container fire suppression, engine room protection, accommodation sprinklers and offshore emergency systems. They are critical components in both marine and offshore safety setups.

Yes. IRON Pump fire pumps for offshore installations comply with NFPA20 and relevant class requirements such as DNV, ABS and Lloyds.
