The marine fire risk

Why fire at sea demands a better solution

At sea, help is not minutes away — it is hours. Traditional extinguishers cause as much damage as the fire and leave crews with a contaminated vessel they cannot safely operate.

Powder Destroys Navigation Electronics

A single powder discharge in a wheelhouse can write off chartplotters, VHF radios, AIS transponders and engine management systems. At sea, losing navigation electronics is not just costly — it is dangerous.

CO2 Risk Below Decks

CO2 extinguishers displace oxygen in the enclosed below-decks environment. In cabins, engine rooms and bilges, this creates a serious risk of asphyxiation for anyone who enters the space after discharge.

Annual Inspection on Every Vessel

Every pressurised extinguisher on a vessel must be inspected annually. For commercial operators with large fleets, this means hundreds of extinguishers to track, test and replace — a significant compliance and cost burden.

Saltwater Environment Degrades Equipment

The marine environment accelerates corrosion of pressurised cylinders. Seals and pressure gauges degrade faster at sea — meaning extinguishers may fail when needed most. The FSS has no pressurised cylinder and no moving parts.

Marine applications

Trusted across leisure and commercial marine

Whether you're a weekend sailor, a superyacht crew or a commercial vessel operator — the Fire Safety Stick is the clean, certified choice for fire safety at sea.

Leisure Yachts & Sailing

Compact and lightweight, the FSS stows easily in a yacht's cockpit locker or navigation station. It protects engine bays, galley areas and electrical systems without the bulk of a pressurised cylinder.

Motorboats & RIBs

Engine bay fires on motorboats demand instant, targeted suppression. The FSS penetrates enclosed engine bays with its aerosol agent — no line-of-sight required, no residue left behind.

Commercial Vessels

From fishing vessels and ferries to workboats and patrol craft — the FSS's zero-residue discharge and 15-year shelf life make fleet compliance straightforward and cost-effective.

Superyachts

Protecting a superyacht's interior, electronics and guest areas demands a fire solution that causes no secondary damage. The FSS discharges cleanly — no staining of furnishings, upholstery or AV equipment.

Offshore Platforms & Wind Farms

Remote offshore environments need reliable, low-maintenance fire safety equipment. The FSS requires no annual inspection, withstands harsh environmental conditions and is safe to use near electrical infrastructure.

Marina & Boatyard Facilities

Boatyards and marina facilities house high-value vessels and complex electrical systems. The FSS provides rapid first-response suppression that protects assets without causing powder contamination across adjacent craft.

ZERO
Residue. Zero Oxygen Depletion. Zero Damage.

The Fire Safety Stick discharges a clean aerosol agent — no corrosive powder contaminating your electronics and navigation systems, no CO2 risk below decks and no pressurised cylinder to inspect. Designed for environments where failure is not an option.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Yes. The Fire Safety Stick holds UKCA, CE and SAMSA (South African Maritime Safety Authority) certification, making it suitable for use on leisure craft, commercial vessels and offshore installations. Its compact, lightweight design makes it ideal for storage in confined boat spaces.

No. The Fire Safety Stick discharges a clean aerosol agent that leaves zero residue. It will not damage chartplotters, VHF radios, engine management systems, or onboard electronics. Unlike powder extinguishers, there is no corrosive contamination and no clean-up required.

Yes. The Fire Safety Stick's aerosol agent penetrates enclosed spaces including engine bays, bilges and lockers. It suppresses fire at source without requiring line-of-sight and leaves no residue that could contaminate fuel, oil or bilge water systems.

No. The Fire Safety Stick has a 15-year shelf life and requires no annual inspection, hydrostatic testing or servicing. This makes it significantly easier to manage compliance across a fleet of vessels compared to traditional pressurised extinguishers.

The FSS50 (50-second discharge) is suitable for smaller leisure craft, RIBs and day boats. The FSS100 (100-second discharge) is recommended for larger yachts, motorboats, commercial vessels and offshore applications where extended suppression time may be needed.
