Galley Kitchen

Marine galley kitchen fire protection comes under ISO 15371:2015, with the onus on ship owners to ensure their fire suppression systems now protect more than just the fryers. Nobel’s K-Series system easily facilitates this requirement, with the ability to extend protection beyond the fryer to the cookline, canopy and ductwork to ensure compliance is not in doubt.

The K-Series is fully automatic and is electronically actuated using dedicated heat sensors, linear or spot heat detectors to detect fire conditions. Detection can be sited directly over appliances or alternatively in the extract air flow above the appliances. Therefore, cooking appliances can be individually protected or multiple systems can be configured to suit the demands of the galley.

Engine Compartments

Fires are grave emergencies aboard marine vessels, especially in remote open water where onboard firefighting relies on available equipment and crew.

Fires in inboard engine compartments on smaller vessels can rapidly become catastrophic. Even with a fire port, extinguishing an aggressively burning fire remains uncertain, increasing the risk of vessel abandonment and occupants ending up in the water.

The Fire Risk

• Limited access to engine compartments
• Rapid combustion of fiberglass hulls
• Inadequate firefighting equipment
• Insufficient crew training
• Presence of highly flammable fuels and electrical components
• Constrained space exposed to harsh conditions and varying maintenance levels
