Effective water supply thanks to a simple installation technology. Our systems are ideally suited for drinking water distribution on all types of ships. Cabins, kitchens, restaurants, and bars are efficiently supplied with fresh water. The high flexibility of the material and the easy installation technology cut time and costs to a minimum. The installers have the option to install individual or continuous lines, ring mains, T-piece branches, and continuous lines with circulation possible at every deck and in the risers of the vessel.

Wastewater from sinks and showers, as well as from toilets and medical facilities, creates grey and black water that has to be conveyed safely to the wastewater treatment system on board. With the solutions from GF Piping Systems, safe transport is guaranteed. Our modern electrofusion, adhesive or mechanical jointing technology is conducive to fast installation, and the highly diversified product mix provides installers with the flexibility they require. All our plastic systems do not corrode and deliver a long service life.

Air conditioning plays a vital role in onboard accommodation as it helps to have a healthy and pleasant atmosphere concerning temperature and humidity. Thermal comfort can be provided with a direct expansion system for small capacities, for big ships chilled water systems are commonly used. Thanks to the robust external jacket and the highly efficient insulation, the solution from GF Piping Systems is the right choice for a long service life onboard

The International Maritime Organization has stipulated a reduction in the maximum sulfur limit in marine fuels from 3.5% to 0.5%. All ships across the globe will mandatorily have to use low-sulfur fuels or gas instead of the high-sulfur fuel oil that currently dominates the market. Ship-owners will have to choose whether they want to use low-level sulfur fuel or scrubbing technology or other alternatives to comply with the stringent requirement.

Stabilizing systems with ballast water tanks are essential for safe and efficient shipping operations. However, due to the high level of marine organism ballast, water treatment on ships is required to prevent serious ecological or health effects. With its wealth of experience in water treatment, media filtration, dosing and chemical conveyance, GF Piping Systems offers various innovative solutions for ballast water treatment applications on ships

To guarantee safe operation conditions throughout a voyage, certain parameters regarding the vessel’s transverse stability, trim, list, maneuverability, and hull girder stresses have to be defined and reliably maintained. Therefore, ballast water systems are used for the purpose of providing weight at strategic locations within a vessel. To ensure optimal ballasting operations afloat and during cargo loading and discharging processes in harbors, ballast piping and ballast tank systems are installed onboard.
