Marine fire-fighting systems service
Periodic refilling, testing and approval of fixed CO₂ and foam systems, portable extinguishers and detection systems.
From cylinder to pump, the whole system.
Fire protection on board is never a single device. Fixed extinguishing systems, portable extinguishers, detection and alarm systems and the fire pump and hydrant line work together; a fault in one weakens the whole system.
At Celiksan we fully manage the periodic refilling, testing and approval processes for fixed extinguishing systems, portable fire extinguishers and detection systems. We also work in the engine room on valve, strainer and nozzle maintenance.
- CO₂ batteries: cylinder weighing or level measurement, valve, hose and connection checks
- Foam systems and foam concentrate
- Inspection, refilling and maintenance of portable and wheeled extinguishers
- Fire detection and alarm systems; smoke and heat detector tests
- Fire pump line, valve, strainer and nozzle maintenance
- Supply of fire hoses, nozzles and couplings
The framework for fire system maintenance.
Maintenance and inspection intervals for marine fire systems are set by IMO guidelines. We service to these guidelines and the system manufacturer's instructions.
- SOLAS II-2Fire protectionRequirements for fire detection, extinction and structural fire protection on ships.
- FSS CodeTechnical standardsTechnical specifications of fire safety systems — CO₂, foam, extinguishers and detection.
- MSC.1/Circ.1432Maintenance guidelinesWeekly, monthly, quarterly, annual, five- and ten-yearly maintenance and inspection of fire protection systems and appliances.
- MSC.1/Circ.1318Fixed CO₂IMO guidelines for the maintenance and inspection of fixed carbon dioxide fire-extinguishing systems.

How often are fire extinguishers on board inspected?
Under MSC.1/Circ.1432, portable fire extinguishers are inspected annually. Extinguisher shells are also hydrostatically pressure-tested at least once every ten years.
How is the CO₂ quantity in a fixed system checked?
The CO₂ quantity in the cylinders is verified by weighing or liquid level measurement. This is done together with checks of cylinder valves, hoses, the discharge line and the alarm arrangements, at the intervals given in MSC.1/Circ.1318.
What information do you need for a quote?
Vessel name and port, the system type (CO₂, foam, etc.), number and capacity of cylinders, the number and type of extinguishers and the date of the last service.
Can I buy fire-fighting equipment from your store?
Yes. Our store in Tuzla stocks fire extinguishers, fire valves, hoses, sprinkler heads, alarm sounders and detector testing equipment.
