Marine Fire Suppression Inspection & Maintenance

Regular inspections are the best way to keep your boat’s fire suppression system working at its best. We recommend you complete visual inspections weekly and monthly. Our team can carry out annual inspections and tests that thoroughly check over your system, ensuring proper function and operation of your marine fire protection equipment. Regular inspection and maintenance are also essential for maintaining fire code compliance. Failure to supply evidence of inspections could also affect insurance coverage following a fire.
