Naval and Marine Salvage Fire Pumps

Discover the Range.

Extremely loud or windy marine work environments present unique challenges to critical communication. The David Clark Digital Intercom Systems offers a solution that provides clear transmission and reception in difficult-to-communicate environments, while combining the flexibility of single or multi-channel programming options to provide enhanced versatility for a virtually unlimited number of users.

YDP20 Series

The YDP20 Series is the smallest diesel fire pump in the BMS range. This portable unit is powered by a vertical 4-cycle, air-cooled Yanmar L48 diesel engine, delivering 4.6 HP. It features a self-priming centrifugal pump, capable of delivering up to 500 litres (132.1 U.S. gallons) per minute. The unit is mounted within a military-grade shock mount frame for durability in harsh operating conditions.

Widely used in military and commercial applications—including offshore drilling rigs and ocean-going vessels—the YDP20 is currently the only unit in its class with DNV certification. It can also be configured for air-deployable operations.

Available in manual or electric start configurations.

B100 Series

The B100 Series is the next step up from the YDP20, offering increased power and performance. It is driven by a Yanmar L100 4-cycle, air-cooled diesel engine, delivering 9 HP. The unit features a self-priming centrifugal pump, capable of delivering up to 1,300 litres (350 U.S. gallons) per minute. The pump is mounted within a military-grade shock mount frame for durability in demanding operating conditions.

Suitable for both military and commercial applications, the B100 can also be configured for air-deployable operations.

Available in manual or electric start configurations.

FSP36 Series

The FSP36 is designed to meet military specifications for fire defence and safety applications. It has successfully passed stringent testing conducted by the Australian Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO) and the Royal Australian Navy.

Powered by a Yanmar 39P marine-grade diesel power head, the FSP36 features a water-cooled engine—unlike traditional air-cooled portable pumps—reducing the risk of overheating and enabling sustained operation in demanding environments.

The pump delivers up to 720 litres per minute with a 7-metre suction lift and incorporates a patented pump design developed specifically for naval applications. This configuration represents a first-of-its-kind approach for portable fire pump systems.

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.
