We provide the solution for ship balconies.
Balconies on ships are a fire risk - and modern cruise liners need reliable protection. A fire, spreading via plastic furniture and partitions, aluminium structures and other materials, can quickly assume devastating proportions, as demonstrated by the conflagration on one of the world's biggest liners in March 2006. Fatalities, damage running in millions, and an almost incalculable loss of image by the shipping company - such can be the consequences.
Minimax has developed the first fire protection solution for ship balconies which reliably extinguishes a balcony fire and also prevents it from spreading. The balcony remains protected, even in the event of a cabin fire and if the sprinkler system fails. The system prevents flames from spreading from the balcony into the cabin, even when the outside door is open. The IMO Res. A 800 (19) sprinkler test standards were used as a basis when the new system was tested at the Minimax Fire Protection Research Centre.
