How a fully autonomous system can help improve fire safety on cargo ships
Source: https://cordis.europa.eu/article/id/421785-how-a-fully-autonomous-system-can-help-improve-fire-safety-on-cargo-ships An EU-funded initiative has developed a robotic solution for fire detection and suppression to protect open weather decks on roll-on/roll-off (ro-ro) ships. The fires on ro-ro ships that carry wheeled cargo like lorries and cars have been in the spotlight in recent years. The 2019 Annual Report of The Nordic Association of Marine…

SOLAS Requirements for Weather Deck Fire Detection & Fire Monitors
INTRODUCTION This article explains the requirements of ro-ro passenger ships to protect the weather deck with fire detection and fire monitors. As a general rule, the SOLAS Convention applies to passenger ships on international voyages. This includes ro-ro passenger (ro-pax) ships world-wide. These regulations are governed by the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO’s) Maritime Safety Committee…
