Fire safety in the maritime sector

Reliable, tested, and certified passive fire protection solutions designed for offshore platforms and ships.

MARINE FIRE-RESISTANT INSULATION

Marine fire protection involves the use of special materials and structural solutions on ships and other marine structures to prevent the spread of fire and heat between compartments and to protect people and equipment.

Why is marine fire insulation important?

On ships people are confined to a limited space, often far from help. A fire can very quickly spread, so:

  • Fire-resistant insulation slows down the spread of fire and heat propagation

  • Provides more time for evacuation

  • Helps the crew locate the fire

Extreme heat can damage a ship's structure:

  • At high temperatures, steel loses its strength

  • Partitions and floors may warp

  • The risk of losing the ship's stability increases

FIREMASTER

For over 30 years, FireMaster® passive fire protection and thermal insulation systems have provided lightweight fire insulation for structures exposed to both cellulose and hydrocarbon fires on cruise ships, superyachts, high-speed ferries, coast guard vessels, offshore platforms, and FPSO units.

Advantages of FireMaster Systems

  • Lighter weight insulation materials, reducing structural load

  • Improved and simpler installation technologies, enabling faster and easier installation

  • Combined fire, thermal, and acoustic insulation

FireMaster Marine Plus blanket

FireMaster Marine Plus fire-resistant blanket, designed for fire protection of ship bulkheads and decks, solve all fire insulation problems on ships thanks to a unique combination of properties:

  • Extremely lightweight material – A60 steel deck requires only 2.4 kg/m² of insulation

  • It contains no chemical binders, so it does not emit smoke in the event of a fire

  • Insulation material resistant to temperatures up to 1200 °C, suitable for protection against hydrocarbon fires

  • A non-toxic material that meets the requirements of the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD)

  • Certified in accordance with DNV and MED standards for fire protection of steel, aluminum, and FRP composites

  • Installation methods optimized for quick and easy installation on board

  • High levels of sound attenuation, sound absorption, and thermal insulation

Compliance with the strictest standards

  • Certified in accordance with IMO (International Maritime Organization) requirements and SOLAS

  • Tested in accordance with the IMO FTP Code (MSC.307(88)) – the primary standard for fire safety testing

  • Complies with EN, ISO, ASTM and other international standards

It has type approval from the most important maritime authorities:

  • Lloyd’s Register

  • Bureau Veritas
