Making cruise ships safer The cruise ship industry is rapidly expanding, with more and more people choosing cruises as a preferred way to spend their holiday. Cruise ships with capacity for thousands of passengers resemble floating cities which must function safely and efficiently both in harbour and at sea. Ensuring passenger safety and the operation of the ship in case of a fire is a focus area for cruise ships, owners and operators. Dozens of fires occurred on cruise ships in the last 25 years. This places great demands on efficient fire fighting equipment as well as a well-trained crew. There is a lot of advanced technology operating behind the scenes to ensure everything runs flawlessly. Danfoss Fire Safety is constantly pushing boundaries for innovation in the pursuit of technological developments that make cruise ships safe, sustainable and competitive. The intelligent use of water for fire fighting on cruise ships A safer tomorrow starts with SEM-SAFE® The SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist fire fighting system from Danfoss Fire Safety uses micro droplets released through nozzles into protected areas. It comprises a modular pump unit, valves, stainless steel piping and water mist nozzles. SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist nozzles will activate immediately upon detecting a fire to ensure the best possible fire protection for passengers and crew on board the ship. Having a fixed high-pressure water mist system installed in the cruise ship will make the fight against fire more efficient with the ultimate goal of saving lives and limiting property damage. High-pressure water mist technology for fire fighting is one of the most effective means of handling fire on a cruise ship, whether it is in an engine room or a passenger cabin. Through continuous research and development, Danfoss Fire Safety has pioneered the use of water for fire fighting and developed the SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist system for fire fighting on cruise ships. 2 Danfoss Fire Safety A/S · Cruise ships
