Our expertise

Complete electric drive pumping solutions — Engineered for Performance

MarFlex specializes in electric drive pumping systems for maritime, offshore, and industrial applications. Our pumps are trusted worldwide — installed on inland and ocean-going vessels, offshore platforms, and tank storage facilities.

We offer fully integrated electric pumping solutions, combining:

  • High-efficiency electric motor-driven pumps
  • Variable Speed Drive Systems (VSDS) for precise flow control
  • Optional remote access for enhanced monitoring and diagnostics

Our VSDS technology enables smooth speed regulation, significantly reducing deck chatter and improving operational stability. Every system is engineered and assembled in-house at our Dutch facility, ensuring quality and consistency. Control panels are provided by our sister company, Snijders, completing a seamless and reliable pumping solution.

Sustainable, smart and quiet by design

Our electric-driven pump systems are built for the future:

  • Energy-efficient and environmentally conscious
  • Equipped with advanced protection software and engineering analytics
  • Operate at low noise levels (75–83 dB at <2 meters), helping reduce underwater noise pollution
