Submerged Cargo Pump System

Framo (Bergen, Norwegen, 2014 von Alfa Laval übernommen) ist der Weltmarktführer für versenkbare Cargo-Pumpen auf Tankern und Chemikalientankern mit geschätzt 60-70% Marktanteil. Das Framo-System platziert die Pumpe direkt im Tankboden — kein Pumpraum nötig, maximale Ladungsausbeute (Stripping). Framo hat das Deepwell-Pumpensystem in den 1970er Jahren revolutioniert und zum Industriestandard gemacht.
