published on 20 May 2025 Reading time : 4 minutes

Dear skippers, My name is Jeroen Bakelaar and I have been active at SCHIEMA for more than 10 years in various roles. Why choose SCHIEMA? Based on my many years of service with this company, I can wholeheartedly say the following: with an open and flexible culture within our company, we always work together to achieve the best possible results for our customers.

This teamwork is reflected not only within our company, but also in the way we do business with our customers. We are always ready to provide a fast and reliable solution. We are proud to be able to deliver that quality every single day.

Bunker hoses: The essential connection on board your ship

A bunker hose, also known as an oil hose or fuel hose, is not just any product; it is the essential connection on your ship when it comes to safely and efficiently transferring fuels and other liquids.

At SCHIEMA, we offer the FLOWINFLAT® PROBUNKER from the FLEXCITED® brand. This high-quality bunker hose has been specially developed to meet the strict requirements of the maritime sector and offers many benefits for reliable operation on board.

Why choose the FLOWINFLAT® PROBUNKER?

The FLOWINFLAT® PROBUNKER is manufactured by a renowned factory with many years of experience in producing bunker hoses. This guarantees not only a top-quality product, but also a hose that has proven itself in practice. The hose can be rolled up particularly flat, which is essential for the storage and use of a bunker hose.

The hose is commonly used during the loading and unloading of tanks, fuel tanks and ships for unleaded fuels with a maximum aromatic content of 50%. It is suitable for industrial oils, fuel oils, biodiesel, palm oil and mineral-based hydraulic oils. Thanks to the specially developed compound, the hose can even be used for transporting palm oil at elevated temperatures of up to 60°C. The hose is manufactured according to the construction of EN1765:2016 TYPE L15, has a working pressure of 20 bar and a burst pressure of 60 bar.

The FLOWINFLAT® PROBUNKER has a premium appearance, making it not only functional on board your ship, but also contributing to a sense of luxury and recognisability.

Considering the value of the liquids being pumped and the potential risk of leaks, it is crucial that the bunker hose used is not only technically advanced, but also absolutely reliable. The FLOWINFLAT® PROBUNKER has a working pressure of 20 bar and a burst pressure of 60 bar, with a safety factor of 3:1. This high level of reliability is of great importance, not only to prevent financial losses, but also to protect the environment. A leak or disruption in the pumping process can have serious consequences for both the operation and the environment, which underlines the importance of a solid and durable solution.
