Marine Engine Rooms

Even a small fire can quickly escalate and lead to serious damage if not suppressed or controlled in time. The consequences of an uncontrolled fire can be devastating, including injury or loss of life to crew members, guests, damage to cargo, and significant damage to the vessel itself.

Engine rooms are typically one of the most confined spaces on board a vessel, with limited space for additional equipment or systems. This can make it challenging to install fixed fire suppression systems, particularly in older vessels where space limitations were not considered during the design phase.

When the engine is in operation, the temperature of the engine and exhaust system can be so high that it can cause any fluids spilled onto its surfaces to ignite, without any external spark or flame. Marine engine rooms are subject to a combination of Class A combustible materials, Class B flammable liquids and gases, and Class C electrical equipment. Fire suppression systems must therefore be suitably certified for these classes of fire.

FirePro generators are an all-in-one container and are the equivalent of the agent storage tank, piping, and nozzles of a pressurized gas system. They are installed directly within the enclosure at risk, without the need for additional space to accommodate for the system. Furthermore, our systems are lightweight, without significantly affecting the Gross Load and performance of the vessel.

FirePro systems are an ideal solution for harsh environments and remote locations, as they are non-pressurized and do not require complex maintenance procedures throughout their 15-year certified product life.

Our fire suppression condensed aerosol technology is suitable for Fire Classes A, B and C and is in compliance with the Marine Equipment Directive (MED) 2014/90/EU holding Type Approvals from RINA, BV, ABS and other IACS members according to IMO Msc/Circ 1270.
