Shipboard Fires

Shipboard fires refer to incidents where fire breaks out on a vessel, posing significant dangers to crew, cargo, and the ship itself. These fires can result from various sources, such as electrical faults, flammable materials, or human error. When a fire ignites, it can spread quickly due to the confined and often hazardous environment on board. Effective firefighting measures, crew training, and safety protocols are essential to control and extinguish the fire, preventing maritime casualties, which can include loss of life, environmental damage, and financial losses.
