Advanced Aerosol Fire Suppression Systems
Shipping Containers
Container vessel fires have been increasing and will continue to do so thanks to a variety of factors such as a rise in lithium battery shipments, misdeclaration of high risk goods and larger vessel sizes. Until now, there hasn’t been an effective system to suppress fires within containers. Container vessel fires have resulted in life threatening situations for crew members on board, supply chain disruption, material damages, operator’s reputational damage, severe environmental impact, long shipment delays, and higher costs for salvage efforts.

Proactive Fire Suppression
Proactive fire suppression should be a main focus in this rapidly growing industry to prevent loss of assets, revenue from downtime and increased insurance premiums. In its 2022 safety and shipping review, analysis by major insurer Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty showed there had been over 70 reported fires on board container ships alone in the past five years, with growing risks faced by car carriers transporting electric vehicles using batteries.
