With experts predicting the tanker market will see strong growth for years, tanker owners are relying on a planned maintenance program with frequent assessments of their critically important cargo pump systems to ensure safe transport of oil and avoid costly downtime.
Demand in the Deepwell cargo pump market is still being driven by cost and service support but owners and managers are reluctant to compromise on product quality or put up with poor after sales service, which is why companies like Cargo Care Solutions have seen a near tripling in business levels during the past three years. According to Peter Peltenburg, CEO of the Dutch-based company, strong growth in the shipping markets has been behind the surge in orders, however, products need to be priced at the correct level and the right dialogue needs to be entered into with the market to ensure the right products are delivered, at the right quality and at the right price.
