Background:

Cargo ships in the construction process, the hull, deck, surrounding bulkheads, ceilings and other ancillary equipment, are made of steel with high thermal conductivity, the initial fire mainly by heat convection to spread, the fire develops particularly large when the temperature rises very quickly, the heat spreads by heat radiation, and the speed of propagation is directly proportional to the temperature of the fourth power and does not require any contact or medium, if there are openings or If there are openings or the insulation of the bulkheads is not good, the fire will quickly spread to other compartments. The damage caused to the ship, cargo and casualties are incalculable.

Ship structure fire prevention is to take into account these factors, in the ship design and construction, in the structure of the bulkhead laying heat-resistant materials, the deck covered with heat-resistant dressings, at the same time, each area of the doors, windows, through the pieces of heat insulation treatment, once a fire, the fire can be controlled in the area of the fire, do not allow the fire to spread quickly to other premises, to the personnel to escape and extinguish fire to fight for valuable time. Fundamentally ensure the safety of the ship's crew.
