MARINE FACILITIES
Ship fires rarely occur. According to a research, only 2 out of 1 million vessels are affected by accidental fire and explosions. The problem is that when such a fire or explosion occurs, it is almost impossible to escape from it or to extinguish it because it will most surely take place in the sea. Usually these fires lead to massive losses of property and life.
– All the mainland fire threats imposed by electrical, mechanical, chemical, inflammable and explosive materials and equipments still exist in marine applications. But because marine environments are more condensed than their mainland counterparts, fires spread more quickly and give massive damages in very short periods of time. Thus, fire supression systems for marine applications should be highly effective and quick in their response to fire.
– Although fire risks in marine applications are the same as mainland ones, solutions may not always be the same. For example, a fire situation that may be suppressed using water may not be the ideal solution on a ship because of the weight and volume of the water that will be discharged.
– The equipment used in the fire suppression and detection systems for marine applications should also be suitable for marine conditions. The fact that ships stay away from mainland and therefore they will lack professional maintenance services for long periods of time must be considered and systems should be selected in accordance.
AY-SO experts may help you in choosing the best solutions for fire hazards in marine applications.
