Prevent the risk of fire aboard ship in under 30 seconds – Finnmaster Fire Case Study
A ship’s extinguishing system typically comprises of between 200 and 600 cylinders each containing 45KG of liquefied CO2 under high 720 psi/ 49 bar pressure. Due to this high pressure, they are at risk of leaking and accidental discharge. There is a chance of this happening when they are dismantled, weighed and re-installed during their […]
Preventing Transformer Disasters: The Crucial Role of Maintaining Oil Levels
Transformer oil plays a crucial role in the operation and safety of electrical transformers. It acts as both an insulator and a coolant, preventing overheating and ensuring efficient performance. Moreover, maintaining proper transformer oil levels is essential to avoid the risk of fire or explosion. In this blog post, we will explore the significance of […]
Protecting your crew: using ultrasonics to create a Safeship®
The NTSB have recently investigated the cause of the 2015 El Faro disaster. SS El Faro was a United States-flagged, combination roll-on/roll-off and lift-on/lift-off cargo ship crewed by U.S. merchant mariners. All 33 crew members tragically died in the sinking, when El Faro sailed from Jacksonville into Hurricane Joaquin, while heading to Puerto Rico. The […]
