Fire Protection for the Marine Industry

Ships at sea… whether recreational, commercial or military… present a serious challenge for fire protection, with a variety of hazards from engine rooms to galleys to cargo spaces. Kidde Fire Systems offers a range of specially designed marine products, with systems appropriate for every size vessel from yachts to aircraft carriers.

Ships contain all the elements necessary for a fire...oxygen, fuel and ignition sources. Fuel is present in the form of high-pressure fuel lines, hot lube oil, solvents and paints.  All it takes to spark a fire is an ignition source like an electrical short, a piece of overheated equipment or a hot turbocharger.  Compounding the problem is that fire can strike when the vessel is far away from the nearest port. The challenge is to protect the passengers and crew, prevent an environmental disaster and save a high-value marine asset.

Kidde Marine Fire Suppression Systems provide vessel owners and operators with a range of viable options for effectively suppressing fires in machinery spaces. Kidde’s systems solutions have been tested and approved by marine regulatory agencies throughout the world.
