Leading Journal of the Irish & UK Fishing Industries

Charles Cleghorn’s long experience with workboat pumps has led to recent changes. His company, Charles Cleghorn Ltd., is now importing, stocking & promoting the IFP ” Forani ” range of bronze centrifugal & turbine-type marine pumps to ensure ready availability throughout the British Isles.

Whether for windfarm service vessels, trawlers, crabbers or harbour service workboats, the company invites contact to allow us to recommend & specify appropriate pumping units for any application.

Charles Cleghorn’s personal involvement with these robust & versatile seawater pumps, extending back to 1987, ensures correct model selection for the common requirements of fishing vessels and workboats, typically with bilge / deckwash, fire, and vivier applications, plus engine / refrigeration / hydraulic / gearbox cooling circuits.

NEW STOCK: IFP FORANI BRONZE SEAWATER PUMPS

Availability for the Forani pumps, and associated spares, has been poor in recent times but a radical change is now in place, with developing stocks at Charles Cleghorn’s Royston, Herts, premises.  Additionally, a Scottish stockholding has been established in conjunction with Glasgow’s MACK ENGINEERING, thus ensuring rapid availability and much-reduced logistics expense for northern customers.  Further, Irish stock is now established, with MOONEY BOATS ( Killybegs ) & MARINE SUPPLIERS ( Howth ) both offering the benefits of ready availability and lower transport costs to Irish customers.
