We provide the solution for ships.

Ships and offshore facilities such as oil platforms require a higher-than-average level of safety due to the special conditions prevailing at sea.

In most cases people can not quickly escape in case of fire and immediate fire fighting help from outside can not be expected. Apart from many fire risks, panic and a disabled manoeuvrability are further typical sources of danger after a fire, which must be taken into consideration when choosing an extinguishing system.

Minifog marine takes this into account by providing protection concepts developed and approved in accordance with the safety regulations of national authorities and international classification societies and in compliance with the recommendations of SOLAS and IMO.

A highly efficient type of high-pressure watermist technology has been specially tailored to the protection of accommodations and public areas, as well as to the protection of objects in engine rooms on board ships. In Addition an equally valuable and proven low-pressure system is available for the protection of objects in engine rooms in accordance to current legislation.

With the use of the Minifog marine XP water mist extinguishing system the demand for minimising its need for space and weight on ships is satisfied to an extremely high degree. Compared with classic sprinkler systems Minifog marine XP requires up to 90 percent less extinguishing water in the event of fire. Due to this extremely low need for extinguishing water, the system’s piping and water supply are small and easily laid out. The efficient extinguishing system can be deployed in all areas - whether cabins, corridors or in the engine room - and with one single sprinkler it has an area of coverage of up to 32 square metres. The professional installation and commissioning of Minifog marine XP rounds out the Minimax services portfolio.

Areas that deserve special attention include rooms with electrical and electronic devices, such as control rooms, control cabinets and smaller machine rooms on ships. In such risk areas, extinguishing systems which put out fires quickly yet carefully are essential, in order to ensure that sensitive equipment is not damaged by residues left by the extinguishing agent. With the MX 1230 Marine and MX 200 Marine clean agent fire suppression system, Minimax has developed solutions which meet the demanding requirements on board a ship. For instance, the fire suppression systems can even be dimensioned with 50-bar system pressure. The systems are distinguished through the presence of the authorised and tested chemical suppressors NovecTM 1230 and HFC-227ea: neither fire suppressor is corrosive or electrically conductive, or causes any damage to sensitive parts through short circuits or residues. The MX 1230 Marine and MX 200 Marine clean agent fire suppression systems are available for tugboats, coast and inland navigation vessels and small yachts, in addition to drilling rigs. The size of the room to be protected is a key focus for both systems. As a result, they offer optimal fire protection in smaller rooms, and are fully certified with all major marinesector approvals.
