Fire Alarm Systems: Critical Safety Solutions for Marine Environments

In the maritime industry, fire safety is not optional—it is essential. Marine vessels face high-risk environments with flammable fuels, electrical systems, and confined spaces. At Serden Ship Supply Marine Electric & Electronics Ltd., we specialize in the supply, installation, and integration of marine fire alarm systems that detect hazards early and protect lives, cargo, and infrastructure.

Our fire detection systems are designed specifically for the harsh conditions of the sea, providing reliable performance even in high-vibration, high-humidity, and corrosive environments.

 What is a Marine Fire Alarm System?

A marine fire alarm system is a shipwide safety system that detects, alerts, and responds to potential fires through a network of sensors, detectors, panels, and alarms. These systems are often connected to:

• Smoke and heat detectors

• Flame and gas sensors

• Manual call points (MCPs)

• Audio-visual alarms (sirens & strobes)

• Fire suppression systems

• Emergency control stations

Once a fire or heat source is detected, the system triggers alerts and activates relevant suppression or evacuation protocols.

 Our Fire Alarm System Solutions Include:

• Addressable and conventional fire detection panels

• Optical smoke detectors

• Rate-of-rise and fixed temperature heat detectors

• Multi-sensor intelligent detectors

• Flame detectors for engine rooms and cargo holds

• Gas detection sensors (LPG, CO2, Hydrogen, etc.)

• Marine-approved manual call points

• Sirens and visual beacons

• Control panels for integration with suppression systems (e.g., CO2, Foam, NOVEC)

We provide complete turnkey packages or modular components based on vessel requirements.

 Key Features

• Marine certified components (Lloyd’s, DNV, BV, ABS etc.)

• IP-rated enclosures for rugged sea conditions

• Loop or zone-based configurations

• HMI or LED indicators for fire zones

• Data logging and event history

• Redundant cabling and power backup

• Integration with ship’s automation systems (AMS, VMS)

We ensure our systems are compatible with the rest of your vessel’s electrical and safety architecture.

 Applications Across All Vessel Types

Our fire detection and alarm systems are used in:

• Cargo ships & bulk carriers

• Tankers & gas carriers

• Passenger ferries & cruise liners

• Offshore support vessels (OSVs)

• Yachts and leisure vessels

• Naval & coast guard fleets

• Fishing vessels

Every system is designed to comply with the ship’s type, layout, and regulatory requirements.
