Marine Fire Safety & Survival Equipment

In the maritime industry, safety is the anchor that keeps every operation secure. A vessel at sea faces unique hazards — from fire risks to toxic gas exposure and oxygen depletion. To safeguard lives and comply with SOLAS and IMO safety standards, ships must be equipped with reliable fire safety and breathing apparatus systems.

At Elite Safety and Marine Supplies LLC, we specialize in the supply, inspection, and certification of Fire Extinguishers, SCBA, EEBD, MO₂ systems, and calibration services for marine applications.

 

Fire Extinguishers: The First Response Against Fire

Fire extinguishers are the primary defense against onboard fires. Marine-approved extinguishers are designed to combat fires in different risk zones such as engine rooms, accommodation areas, and cargo holds.

Types of Marine Fire Extinguishers:

  • CO₂ Extinguishers: Effective for electrical and flammable liquid fires.
  • Foam Extinguishers: Ideal for fuel and oil-based fires.
  • Dry Powder Extinguishers: Multi-purpose use for Class A, B, and C fires.
  • Water & Wet Chemical Extinguishers: Used for solid combustibles and galley fires.

Regular inspection, refilling, and hydrostatic testing ensure extinguishers are always ready for emergency use.

 

SCBA (Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus): Breathing Life in Dangerous Atmospheres

SCBA sets are vital for crew members entering smoke-filled or toxic environments during fire-fighting or rescue operations. These units supply breathable air from a high-pressure cylinder and include a full-face mask, pressure gauge, and alarm system.

Key Benefits:

  • Provides 30–60 minutes of safe breathing air.
  • Protects against toxic gases, smoke, and oxygen deficiency.
  • Essential for fire teams and emergency response personnel.

At Elite Safety and Marine Supplies LLC, we offer SCBA inspection, refilling, pressure testing, and calibration in accordance with international standards.

 

EEBD (Emergency Escape Breathing Device): Escape with Confidence

EEBDs are designed for emergency escape only, not for fire-fighting. In case of sudden smoke or gas release, they provide crew members with 10–15 minutes of breathable air, allowing safe evacuation from affected areas.

EEBD Safety Features:

  • Lightweight and easy to carry.
  • Clear visor for unobstructed vision.
  • Automatic activation upon use.
  • Complies with SOLAS Chapter II-2 requirements.

Each vessel must carry an adequate number of EEBDs in accommodation and machinery spaces. Routine inspection ensures proper pressure, cleanliness, and readiness for use.

 

MO₂ (Medical Oxygen) Sets: Vital for Onboard First Aid

Marine Oxygen (MO₂) systems are an essential part of a vessel’s medical locker, providing life-saving oxygen therapy for injured or ill crew members during medical emergencies.

Applications include:

  • Treatment of hypoxia and decompression sickness.
  • Support during onboard medical procedures.
  • Emergency response in confined or low-oxygen environments.

Our team provides MO₂ cylinder refilling, hydrostatic testing, valve servicing, and certification as per maritime medical standards.

 

Calibration Scope: Ensuring Accuracy in Safety Equipment

Precision is crucial when dealing with gas detection, pressure gauges, and calibration-sensitive safety devices. Regular calibration ensures that all instruments provide accurate readings, especially in critical operations like gas detection, SCBA pressure monitoring, and oxygen analysis.

Calibration services include:

  • Gas detection systems (O₂, CO, CO₂, H₂S, LEL).
  • Pressure gauges and flow meters.
  • SCBA and EEBD pressure indicators.
  • Temperature and humidity instruments.

At Elite Safety and Marine Supplies LLC, we use certified calibration instruments traceable to international standards, ensuring full compliance with IMO, SOLAS, and Flag State requirements.
