Shipbuilding is a great consumer of pipe and pipe components. Whether the vessel is a dredger – a trailing suction hopper dredger or a cutter suction dredger perhaps – or a tanker, container ship, inland vessel or coaster, pipes are required in almost every part of the ship. Examples include:

• Piping systems in the engine room
• Fuel pipes
• Exhaust systems
• Ballast and bilge pumping systems
• Water jet systems
• Bow thruster tubes
• Suction pipes
• Transportation pipes for loading/unloading freight
• Cylinders for valve operation
• Railings
• Reinforcement and shoring

Space for piping systems in engine rooms is usually very restricted, so special ERW-tube is used, which is easy to bend to acute angles and therefore saves space. These pipes also have a nice bright surface. We have an extensive range of these ‘easy bend’ tubes in stock.
