SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist system Fire broke out 11th October 2012, Esvagt Aurora unfortunately experienced an incident with leaking marine diesel oil which was dripping at a hot exhaust pipe of one of the diesel gensets, which led to a potentially ship-wrecking fire. The crew detected the fire and released the SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist system manually. In 2 minutes the fire was completely extinguished by the SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist system. Mr. Kristian Ole Jakobsen continues: “All onboard the vessel were very impressed by the capability and efficiency of the SEM-SAFE® high-pressure water mist system. The fire was extinguished in very short time and there is absolutely no doubt that the SEM-SAFE® system works and we fully trust its safety and reliability. Another major advantage is that we live-test the water mist system every month, and the crew is therefore fully aware of how to operate the system – AND that you are able to release the system without any prior precautions.” If the fire had not been detected by the crew, the automatic function of the SEM-SAFE® system would have released the system and extinguished the fire automatically. After the fire was extinguished, the vessel sailed to port to check all functionalities, but the vessel could easily have continued operations without interruptions or jeopardizing the safety of the vessel.
