Fire Extinguishers - Safety and Protection
Marine fire extinguishers are portable, approved firefighting appliances carried aboard ships and offshore vessels. Depending on the hazard, they use dry powder, foam, water, carbon dioxide, or wet chemical agents for accommodation, machinery, galley, electrical, and deck areas.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Fire Extinguishers for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

| Applicable Standards & Certification | SOLAS Chapter II-2 and the IMO Fire Safety Systems (FSS) Code are applicable to shipboard fire-extinguishing appliances.

Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information

Secure the extinguisher against vibration, protect it from heat and weather, and maintain unobstructed access. Follow the maker's mounting instructions and vessel fire-control plan. |

| Maintenance Tips | Inspect regularly for damage, corrosion, blocked hose, missing pin, low pressure, and illegible markings. Carry out servicing, weighing, recharge, hydrostatic testing, and replacement at the intervals required by the manufacturer, flag state, class, and applicable standard. |
| Safety Notes | Use only the extinguisher type suitable for the fire classification. Do not use water on energized electrical equipment or flammable-liquid fires. Keep a safe escape route, discharge from a safe distance, and evacuate if the fire cannot be controlled immediately. |
