Fire Suppression Systems Fire suppression systems are indispensable to ship safety. These automated systems quickly detect fires and respond immediately, protecting personnel, cargo, and the ship itself. These systems automatically release firefighting agents like water mist, foam, or carbon dioxide (CO2) to suppress or extinguish the flames. By rapidly containing fires, fire suppression systems prevent […]
