Case story | SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist system M/V Olympic TBN Easy choice of fire protection system The vessel M/V Olympic TBN was built by the Norwegian shipyard Ulstein Verft A/S for Olympic shipping. Both Ulstein and Olympic had previously used the SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist system from Danfoss, and therefore the choice of fire fighting system was easy. Project manager at Olympic Shipping A/S, Mr. Harald Hansen: “We like the principle with water as extinguishing medium which is already available onboard. It is also positive that seawater can be used in case of low fresh water level and the extra back up by means of the bottle bank, which is intended for use in case of black out. Furthermore, the SEM-SAFE® system has a high safety level that rules out failures, and the system is easily operated.” Through a series of projects, Ulstein Verft A/S and Danfoss have established a close cooperation with mutual understanding of the requirements of a water mist system, which not only has to be class approved but also easily accessed and operated. Danfoss not only delivers but also installs SEM-SAFE® systems at Ulstein Verft A/S, which means that the shipyard can concentrate on other installations. Upon completion, a service engineer goes through the entire system, and a commissioning with attendants from the shipyard, shipowner and class surveyor is performed. www.semsafe.danfoss.com
