Maritime Fire Training

  • Demonstrate to tremendous effect the critical need to crash stop ventilation systems to prevent and restrict smoke spread
  • Create dense and variable smoke scenarios for the most realistic breathing apparatus training
  • Enhance the effectiveness and capabilities of your fire fighting teams, in their own working environment
  • Test the efficacy of your emergency control and communication procedures whilst practice safe and efficient evacuation procedures in low-visibility conditions.
  • Help ship operators comply with SOLAS/STCW – training in a smoke filled environment with breathing apparatus
  • Offers a safe and repeatable way to simulate highly realistic training scenarios.

Maritime Shipboard Fire Training

A fire at sea can be devastating. Ensuring that crews are trained in safe but highly realistic conditions can help them tackle a real fire with greater speed, efficiency, and confidence – minimising the damage to the ship, its cargo, and of course risk to life.

Artificial smoke is invaluable for shipboard maritime training exercises, providing a realistic environment for various critical drills. It is essential for firefighting drills, where it simulates smoke-filled conditions, allowing crew members to practice effective firefighting techniques and emergency responses.  Additionally, artificial smoke is used to practice safe and efficient evacuation procedures in low-visibility conditions, which is vital for ensuring the safety of all personnel during real-life emergencies.

Furthermore, artificial smoke is used to demonstrate the requirement to crash stop ventilation systems on ships to restrict smoke spread, ensuring crew members are prepared to manage smoke containment effectively. This versatility allows artificial smoke to be used in various maritime training scenarios, including shipboard operations, port security, and underwater missions. It provides a cost-effective method to enhance training realism compared to other simulation technologies, with trainers able to control the intensity and duration of smoke to tailor exercises to specific training needs.

Our clients say…

I would like to recommend the Concept smoke machine to all shipboard trainers. The smoke produced is very realistic. I use the machine during search and rescue exercises and fire drills. A very valuable lesson when using smoke is that if the ventilation is not stopped and the fire flaps not closed immediately the smoke will rapidly spread to other compartments and decks. The machine is very easy to use and is virtually maintenance free. Concept provide an excellent after sales service.
