Firefighting Algoma

Some years ago, Algoma had contracted eight new building projects with Nantong Mingde Heavy Industry to build a series of Gearless and Self Unloading Great Lakes Bulkers, and DESMI worked closely with the shipyard and ship owner to make the proposal for a special, owner-required, dry pipe accommodation water sprinkler system and C-Loop F500 fire-fighting system.

Due to good equipment and installation, Algoma supported DESMI FineFog^TM fire-fighting systems to be selected to be on board its new-building projects in Croatia.

DESMI has contracted FineFog^TM fire-fighting systems for five vessels through the support of the ship owner: Bernie Johnson - Algoma Central Corporation Special Projects Director states: “DESMI has delivered the fire-fighting systems and we are quite satisfied with the support and service we received throughout the design and installation phase of the projects. We were able to find a solution that suited our project requirements for the safety of both our crew and the ship perfectly”.

DESMI FineFogTM fire-fighting systems are used for the following applications:

- Accommodation water sprinkler system
- Engine room local application system
- Water spray system
- Deck/Helideck foam system
