Container vessels, safety by design not

by accident

Presented By

Andrew Gray

Container losses at sea

• Issues arising• Loss of cargo• Danger to life and property• Environmental

• Solutions to the problem• International initiatives• Multiple causes• Combination of solutions

• Frequency• 260 million containers carried annually• Average 1,382 lost annually over last 12 years

• Multiple causes

Container fires at sea – Incidence and causes

• Incidence of container ship fires• A fire every week• A major fire every 60 days

• Principal causes• Supply chain• Non-declaration and mis-

declaration of dangerous goods

• Inadequate fire fighting systems

Container fires at sea - Problems

• Supply chain issues• Dangerous goods• Mis-declared cargoes• Volatile containers

• Dealing with fires onboard• Detection• Containment • Fire-fighting systems• Bigger ships, tougher fires

Container fires at sea - Consequences

• Loss and damage resulting• Loss of life/injury• Hull and machinery• Cargo• Environmental damage• Port of refuge

• Legal and practical issues arising• Legal claims• Salvage and General Average• Insurance

Container fires at sea – Solutions

• Supply chain and tech• Spot checks• Shared incident

information• Artificial Intelligence• Blockchain

• Vessel construction

• Awareness, legislation and a concerted approach

Presented by: Holger Jefferies

Head of DNV GL Containership Excellence Centre

February 2021

Introduction and background

Fire on-board of a container ship is a major hazard and there have been severe cases

A need has been identified that additional guidance by Class may be necessary

Proposal of an enhanced set of requirements addressing fire on board container ships

2

• Mis-declaration of dangerous goods (DG)

• Stowage of DG in containers

• Protection of crew and ship

• Fire fighting• Fire detection

DNV GL ©

FCS (FD) Advanced requirements for Fire Detection for cargo in Hold and/or on DeckEnable detection of overheated or burning containers at an early stage

Qualifier Modular conceptBuilt around functional requirement

FCS (C) Advanced safety level equivalent to IMO Res. MSC.365(93) + minor addonsIncrease the safety of the crew, ship, cargo and environment beyond SOLAS II-2 requirements

FCS (HA) Hazard identification assessment of container firesIncrease the awareness of fire hazards and define mitigating actions

FCS (FF) Advanced requirements for Fire-Fighting for cargo in Hold and/or on DeckPermanent ability to fight fires by cooling of containers and adjacent structures

Class Notation FCS (X) – Additional fire safety for container ships

3

FCS (HF) Fire extinguishing by container Hold FloodingPermanent ability to fight fires by flooding of cargo holds

DNV GL ©

What can DNV GL offer for Ships in operation and Newbuildings?

Ships in operation (assuming low hardware investment)

FCS (C) Enhanced fire safety level acc. IMO and minor add-ons

FCS (HA) Hazard identification assessment

FCS (HF) Fire-extinguishing by hold flooding

Newbuildings Application of all F notations FCS (C, HA, FD/ FD+, FF, HF)

– Selection according owner preference

– Functional approach >>> alternative solutions

Successfully assigned to NB series of vessels
