Marine
Fluid Transfer International has been manufacturing a range of aircraft refuellers and allied equipment for the military and civil markets for over 30 years. This experience is now being applied to offer innovative refuelling systems to the Naval market. The supply of clean fuel to the Aircraft or Helicopter is essential to the operation of the aircraft and vessel to allow continued operability. The company has developed the systems for marine use and is now able to offer a compact solution to Naval and Civil marine markets, for Helicopter and Aircraft refuelling. Using experience gained from the design and build of refuelling systems for fitting to vehicles that have considerable size and weight constraints, Fluid Transfer International can supply compact efficient modules to fit within the size limitations of vessels.
