Fire, Flame & Gas Detection Systems

Overview

We install, commission, calibrate, and maintain marine fire and gas detection systems across Europe, Middle East, Turkey, and Africa

Fire and gas detection systems are among the most frequently inspected systems during PSC and class surveys — and among the most common sources of deficiencies when maintenance has been deferred or sensors have drifted. Nordast Electronics engineers install, commission, calibrate, and repair these systems onboard, providing documented close-out at every attendance.

Why These Systems are Important

They are mandatory under SOLAS, type-approved by all major classification societies, and subject to regular inspection by port state control. A single failed detector or misconfigured panel can generate a PSC deficiency that delays departure and triggers a follow-up inspection.

SOLAS-mandatory: Fire detection systems are required on all commercial vessels under international convention — compliance is not optional
Frequently inspected: Fire and gas detection is a primary focus of PSC inspections and class surveys — documented maintenance records are essential
Sensor lifecycle: Detectors, sensors, and loop units have defined replacement intervals — managing these proactively prevents deficiencies before they occur
