THE WORLD OF FIREFIGHTING HAS CHANGED !!16 Jun 2025 15:48
Maritime Aviation are ISO 9001:2015 registered and a global leader in safely and efficiently operating helicopters from ships and shore based locations around the world. It is this unequalled experience that has built our reputation and portfolio of aviation capable cruise ships, superyachts and shore based projects and we strive to seek completeness with confidence by engaging with key decision makers at an early stage.
They have just pronounced judgement on the unrivalled capabilities of Zenova's fire extinguishers.
"Maritime Aviation have become increasingly concerned by the continued lack of understanding of the risks to life caused by incidents involving lithium-ion batteries during thermal runaway where 'off gassing' produces hazardous, toxic and explosive vapour. As such, the methodology for dealing with such incidents must be reviewed together with the use of some fire extinguishing products.”
Zenova FX has shown to be safe and effective for use with all classes of fire and lithium-ion battery fires. This means that should you be confronted with such an incident, you now only need one type of fire extinguisher to deal it.
It would be prudent to state that we are currently experiencing the supply and siting of other fire extinguishing products that are clearly inappropriate for the risk and are creating a false sense of security onboard vessels. Shipyards, vessel owners and crew are being made to believe that such products are effective in all locations and risks when in fact they are absolutely not
In addition Zenova has modified the Zenova FX fluid for specific industry applications."
