Maritime Firefighting

About this book

The most current and up-to-date handbook on the equipment, procedures, and techniques to fight maritime fires on any size of vessel. For too long, mariners have been using outdated books to train on and relying on one-to-three-day refresher courses that barely scratch the surface of the true scope of the hazards of shipboard fires. Contained herein is the culmination of years of research and industry collaboration to provide a fresh look at an old subject. Written by established experts in marine transportation and maritime regulatory compliance, Maritime Firefighting mixes the old with the new to present this new text on the topic with valuable and current information. The threat of shipboard fires has not gone anywhere, but how we fight and prepare for them has.
