Maritime fire prevention is vital. A fire on board a vessel can lead to disaster, threatening personal safety or causing the loss of lives. A fire on board can also destroy valuable cargo or cause severe damage to the integral structure
of a vessel, resulting in costly replacements or repairs.
Conceived to reduce the risks of fuel oil spray incidents and unexpected fires on board large vessels at sea, our Fire Safe Fuel Hoses are designed to transport hot fuel safely in the engine room and notify crew immediately if there is an issue.
Since the launch of our product in 2013, the company has gone from strength to strength. All of our custom-made products are now manufactured and distributed from Europe.
The IMO Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Convention provides the key regulatory framework for fire safety on board ships, and the following safety measures became mandatory SOLAS requirements for all ships from July 2003:
* Insulation of all high temperature surfaces at risk of flammable fuel oil impingement
* Jacketed (double) pipes in all high-pressure fuel oil delivery lines
* Spray shields for any flammable oil lines located above or near potential ignition sources
The multiple class-approved Fire Safe Fuel Hose combines these three safety measures so if the internal layer of the Fire Safe Fuel Hose becomes compromised for any reason, the outer layer of insulation will reduce the risk of fuel leakage until the hose can be replaced.
We enhanced the design of the Fire Safe Fuel Hose with an innovative idea for integrated leakage detection.
Each hose features a built-in leak detection system to detect unexpected loss or gain in pressure, which connects to your vessel’s automated warning system. This notifies you of any potentially dangerous leaks as soon as they occur.
Optionally, a visual indication of the condition of the hose can be provided by a manometer or by visual warning lights, giving you ample time to respond to the issue before it escalates.
