HEPBURN Replenishment-at-Sea

HEPBURN ENGINEERING is the leading supplier of Underway Replenishment-at-Sea Systems. The features and performance of the HEPBURN system have made it the replenishment equipment of choice, more than any other system, for more sovereign navies around the world including Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, India, Italy, Spain and Saudi Arabia.

HEPBURN RAS systems, for the transfer of both liquids and solids, have been subject to continuous review and upgrading based on operating experience. Each new generation of equipment has built on that experience while at the same time integrating the latest available technology within the framework of user oriented requirements.
