THE IMPORTANCE OF FIRE FIGHTING SYSTEM

Nowadays, newly constructed ships frequently have an extremely high capacity and unlimited range, but the number of crew members is always cut down. Therefore, when a fire incident occurs on a ship, the consequences will be far worse than they would be on land.

Fire can happen at any time. Therefore, when there is no human presence, a fire protection system capable of alarming, self-activating, and extinguishing fires will be the most optimal defense option. In addition, fire protection equipment such as standard portable fire extinguishers are always available where needed and are always ready for use, which will help minimize the damage caused by fire.

Nowadays, newly constructed ships frequently have an extremely high capacity and unlimited range, but the number of crew members is always cut down. Therefore, when a fire incident occurs on a ship, the consequences will be far worse than they would be on land. Following the belief that “protection is better than prevention,” fire prevention is always given high attention in time to prevent that disaster.

Ships are usually equipped with systems to detect common causes of fire, such as smoke detection, high-temperature increase detection, and flame detection, to avoid fires.

The basic functions of the fire alarm system for ships include:

Promptly detecting and accurately notifying when a fire breaks out in specific locations (along with an address). This is the most important function of the fire alarm system
For ships, the fire alarm system is intimately connected with the fire fighting system such as fire pumps, exhaust gas, etc. Additionally, when it detects a fire, it must send a signal to some compartment doors to be closed and to turn off the ventilation fans in the engine room and the sleeping area.
