How to deal with container blaze?

Published by December 17,2019

According to statistics, container blazes may occur once a week, and a large container ship blazes at sea about every 60 days. Therefore, dealing with blazes and subsequent investigations is quite complicated.

 

As the number of container ships increases, so does the risk of blaze accidents on container ships. Despite regulatory and technological advances, the reality is that the ability to respond to marine blazes has not improved significantly.

 

How to deal with container blaze?

 

In the event of a blaze on a vessel carrying dangerous goods, a carbon dioxide system can be used to extinguish the carbon dioxide. The gas released from the carbon dioxide system can replace the oxygen in the cargo hold and extinguish the blaze. However, to ensure the effect of carbon dioxide gas, the cargo hold must be closed to prevent oxygen from entering.

In the event of an accident on the deck of the container, water is the only option available. However, it is unlikely that the blaze inside the container will be extinguished in a short time.

 

In addition, the crew should seek expert advice. Provide as much information as possible to the expert, including the location, scope, description of the situation, and a copy of the cargo manifest.
