Fire safety during maintenance and refit is under increasing scrutiny across the maritime sector.
Incidents like the USS Bonhomme Richard fire exposed critical gaps in detection and oversight—challenges equally relevant to Europe’s workboats and offshore fleets.
Hot works, confined spaces, and temporary power all elevate risk, while traditional fire watch relies heavily on human vigilance.
Ageing vessels and complex retrofits reduce visibility, especially in concealed spaces where fire can spread undetected, while wired systems can be slow and vulnerable to damage.
Solutions such as Ramtech’s WES Wireless Fire and Evacuation System provide rapid deployment, flexible coverage, and clear site-wide alerts without cabling.
As risk increases, wireless detection improves early warning, reduces downtime and insurance exposure, and strengthens response, helping operators maintain safe, resilient fleets.
