Marine Fire Suppression Systems

Fire Protection for Ro-Ro Ferries, Tankers, and Cargo Ships

As global transport of lithium-ion batteries increases, so does the risk of severe marine fires. These difficult blazes endanger passengers, crews, vessels, and cargo. That’s why advanced fire detection systems, suppression, and containment are essential for marine fire safety. Our Diamond Doser® Marine Fire Suppression Systems, powered by saltwater-friendly F-500 EA®, are expertly designed to protect lives and freight at sea.

Multi-Class

Marine vessel fires are imminent when lithium-ion battery-powered cargo is on board. Invest in our advanced marine fire suppression systems to prepare crews for modern maritime hazards.

Fluorine-Free

As fire safety equipment transitions away from fluorinated foams, on-board fluorine-free fire suppression that improves upon outdated systems has become a priority on commercial vessels.

Lithium-ion Batteries

Proven Marine Fire Suppression Systems with Battery Protection

The hazards associated with marine fire suppression go beyond just flammability. F-500 EA® works to extinguish lithium-ion and lithium battery fires on three distinct levels: flammability, explosivity, and toxicity. F-500 EA®’s approach to lithium-ion battery hazard mitigation in marine environments is backed by over fifteen years of third-party testing referenced in NFPA 18A.

Flammability

F-500 EA® mitigates lithium-ion battery fires by encapsulating flammable electrolyte and absorbing thermal energy. This halts thermal runaway propagation and rapidly cools the fire’s ignition source.

Explosivity

F-500 EA® effectively stops the production of toxic off-gases from burning lithium-ion batteries. By preventing the release of hazardous vapors and gases, we reduce the risk of explosions.

Toxicity

F-500 EA® significantly reduces exposure to harmful emissions and carcinogens present in smoke. We actively protect passengers and crews from the dangers of lithium-ion battery fire suppression.

Ro-Ro Ferries

Mitigating ICE, Hybrid, and Electric Vehicle Fires

A Pure Car Carrier (PCC) ship houses thousands of new vehicles, often transporting over 8,000 at a time. Alternatively, newer Ro-Pax ships can accommodate roughly 1,000 passengers and carry 100-300 vehicles varying in age and maintenance status. F-500 EA® can effectively extinguish marine electrical fires involving combustible metals and batteries, preserving lives while preventing total loss.

Oil and Chemical Tankers

Mitigating Flammable Liquids, Explosive Vapors, and Natural Gas

Supertankers can carry at least 200,000-320,000 deadweight tons of crude oil and other hydrocarbon products while Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) carriers transport a mix of methane, ethane, propane, and butane. Our industrial suppression systems can encapsulate polar and non-polar fuels while proactively minimizing explosion risk.

Shipyards and Cargo Ships

Mitigating Shipping Container Fires in Ports and Offshore Vessels

Between densely stacked shipping containers, heavy machinery, and foot traffic, adequate marine fire protection becomes critical before cargo ever leaves. At sea and on offshore platforms, efficient fire suppression remains pivotal as crews function with minimal resources. F-500 EA® can be deployed by various mobile equipment, portable fire extinguishers, and fixed systems to perform immediate lifesaving firefighting operations and prevent abandonment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Marine conditions can change rapidly due to weather and water level fluctuations. Firefighting systems for jetties, freight ships, and offshore platforms must be durable, adaptable, and capable of delivering pinpointed fire suppression from a safe distance.

Common hazards include leaking fuel or liquid natural gas, short circuits caused by faulty wiring, and overheating of equipment like pumps or boilers in engine rooms. These can easily become ignition sources during loading and unloading operations.

Yes. All systems should comply with international regulations, including the International Maritime Organization (IMO), Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), and the Code for Fire Safety Systems (FSS). US-flagged vessels also require approval by the Coast Guard for inspections and compliance.
