Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.Different fires need different extinguishers. Sameh Marine supplies the three main types used on ships:
| Extinguisher type | Typically used for |
|---|---|
| Foam | Flammable liquids such as fuel and oil, and ordinary combustibles |
| Dry chemical | General-purpose use on several types of fire |
| CO2 | Electrical equipment and flammable liquids, leaving no residue |
Always follow the vessel’s fire plan and the maker’s instructions when choosing and using an extinguisher.
Do you install, test and service marine safety equipment?
Yes. Safety equipment only protects the crew if it works in an emergency, so Sameh Marine does more than supply it:
- Installation: our experienced technicians make sure your safety equipment is properly installed and ready for use
- Testing and annual services: regular testing and maintenance keep equipment working in an emergency, and we offer testing and service plans to keep it up to date
- Inspections and certification: we help you navigate the inspection process and obtain the necessary certifications for your safety equipment
For example, SOLAS requires inflatable liferafts to be serviced at intervals not exceeding 12 months.
Which regulations apply to marine safety equipment?
The main rules come from SOLAS, the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea. Its LSA Code covers life-saving appliances, and its FSS Code covers fire safety systems. Flag state surveys and port state control inspections can check that equipment is on board, in date and in working order, which is why correct servicing and certificates matter.
