A strong track record of providing pump solutions for the defence industry gives DESMI a deep understanding of naval applications – and the Danish-based supplier has everything it takes to meet complex naval needs.
Commercial benefits – transformed
Most navies know DESMI as an established maritime brand, serving the commercial shipping industry for many years. Commercial shipping is a tough, demanding environment with little room for poor quality or design errors. Large container ships, for example, go on voyages lasting up to five years, making sturdy and reliable pump solutions absolutely critical.
It’s this depth of experience that enables the Danish-based company to adapt its well-proven products and technologies to meet the even tougher demands of naval operations. Naval customers benefit directly, too, from DESMI’s commercial activities, leveraging an established supply chain and high availability of spare parts.
Trusting partnership
Martin Bro, DESMI’s Defence and Fuel segment director, knows just how important it is to do things right. “DESMI and its navy customers share a common goal: that of bringing sailors back to shore safely and helping to make working on board as smooth and efficient as possible.
Key to this is the ability to analyse specifications throughout the entire process, delivering the best possible system and aiming for high operational uptime and reliability.”
Much of DESMI’s success results from the collaborative relationships it typically establishes with customers. This partnership approach creates the trust necessary to probe into the needs of the fleet and constructively challenge product or configuration choices – often discovering innovative alternatives that may not have been previously considered.
Ready for the next challenge
From shock-rated pumps to helicopter refueling systems and everything in between, DESMI has the confidence to back its products through robust warranties that can be adapted to fit navy requirements. And with a willingness to deliver products that meet exacting requirements and a commitment to building trusting relationships, DESMI will continue to expand its list of naval customers well into the future.
