Prevention is better than cure. A phrase that rings true when discussing the fire risk that the growing presence of lithium-ion batteries on board ships, poses to the maritime industry. In a recent interview with SAFETY4SEA, Petar Modev, our Head of Ship Inspection provided detailed analysis on the topic of lithium-ion battery fires and calls for cross-industry collaboration if we are to effectively mitigate against the significant risk they present. Whilst prevention is the gold standard, crew must also know how to deal with such fires if they do arise. Petar explains the best firefighting strategies and highlights the importance of advanced training programmes, which turns theory into practical action and better equips seafarers to manage live incidents onboard. Read the interview below to find out more on how simulations can be a game changer in crew training, as well upcoming initiatives we’re involved in to make life onboard safer for all. https://lnkd.in/ekpn49YR #Maritime #MaritimeSafety #ShipsandShipping 

Maintenance of Safety Equipment – Essential for Onboard Protection Accurate and timely maintenance of safety equipment aboard is not just a mandatory practice but a fundamental element in ensuring crew protection and compliance with international standards. As officers, your expertise in monitoring and maintaining the safety devices in perfect condition is essential for minimizing operational risks at sea. 🔍 What does technical maintenance include? Safety harness inspections: checking stitching, buckles, and fastening systems to ensure reliability when used. Lifejacket and flotation device checks: inspecting buoyancy, strap integrity, and automatic inflation systems. Inspection of distress signaling and rescue devices: testing flares, emergency buoys, and light signals for operational efficiency. Lifeboat and evacuation system checks: ensuring full operability, including boarding mechanisms and communication equipment. 🔒 Why is it crucial? Compliance with IMO standards and SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) regulations. Risk reduction in emergency situations through proven equipment reliability. Optimization of emergency response, reducing reaction times and increasing operational effectiveness. Each technical inspection and scheduled maintenance contributes to ensuring operational safety and protecting life onboard. As officers, your commitment to managing and maintaining safety equipment is crucial for the overall safety of the vessel. #TechnicalMaintenance #MaritimeSafety #SafetyEquipment #SOLAS #IMO #SafetyFirst #NavalOfficers #MaritimeSafety --- The translated post keeps the technical focus while emphasizing the importance of safety equipment maintenance and the officer’s role in ensuring compliance with maritime safety standards.
