The global shipping industry faces a significant challenge: the increasing frequency of containership fires.Statistics from the World Shipping Council reveal a disturbing trend, with 64 reported fires on container vessels in the past five years, translating to a serious fire incident roughly every 60 days . These fires pose a grave threat to the safety of seafarers, the health of the marine environment,and the smooth operation of global supply chains.
The OVERHEAT Project emerges as a collaborative response to this escalating issue. We are a dedicated team of researchers and maritime experts working to develop innovative digital fire management solutions.Our primary focus is on prioritizing safety, environmental protection, and regulatory compliance.
The OVERHEAT Project’s Mission:
- Prevention: Through cutting-edge digital tools, we aim to prevent containership fires from occurring in the first place.
- Management: In the event of a fire, our solutions will facilitate efficient and effective fire management,minimizing damage and maximizing crew safety.
- Sustainability: Environmental protection is paramount. Our project strives to develop solutions that minimize the ecological impact of containership fires.
- Efficiency: By reducing fire risks, the OVERHEAT Project aims to contribute to a more reliable and efficient global supply chain.
The OVERHEAT Project leverages the combined expertise of its research team and maritime professionals. We are committed to ongoing research and development, striving to make containership fires a relic of the past.
Stay tuned for future updates on our progress and achievements. We will continue to share developments in our fight against containership fires, ensuring a safer and more sustainable maritime future.
