Fire is the most serious risk both to the lives of personnel and the safety of the ship. In the design and construction of the naval unit, it is therefore necessary to equip the ship with efficient fire-fighting systems. On-board, fire protection systems are complex safety systems that must be absolutely reliable in case of emergency.
During the long life of a ship it may be necessary to optimize the existing installations by updating them to the new regulations and improving their processes. In this regard, Sitemar offers specific revamping and refitting programs to ensure that the fire protection equipment is always up to date and continues to have the maximum efficiency.
One of the latest projects has given us the opportunity and privilege to work on the training ship Amerigo Vespucci, which as a representative of the Italian Navy, is considered by many to be the most beautiful sailing ship in the world.
