Purpose-Built Protection for Marine Environments

As specialists in special hazard fire protection, we design, install, and maintain marine fire suppression systems for boats, vessels, and offshore equipment. Marine environments require compact, corrosion-resistant systems that operate reliably in high-risk conditions.

Our systems use approved agents such as FM-200, Novec 1230, NAF-S111, and Aerosol technologies (Stat-X or FirePro), delivering rapid activation with minimal residue to protect engines, electrical systems, and crew safety. All installations are designed and installed to AS4214 or ISO14520 and maintained under AS1851 by FPAS-accredited and EAHL-licensed technicians for full compliance and reliability.

The FPT NSW team consistently delivers unparalleled value in complex and critical fire protection projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a marine fire suppression system for boats in NSW, and how does it work
A marine system is a special hazard onboard solution that detects and suppresses fires in high-risk spaces such as engine rooms without using water that could harm electronics.
Why install a marine fire suppression system on a boat or yacht in Sydney or Newcastle
Boats have unique fire risks and limited escape options. Automatic suppression detects and controls fires in seconds, protecting people and property.
What types of marine fire suppression are used on boats and yachts
Clean agent systems are common for engine bays. Larger vessels may use foam or water mist. Many yachts include an automatic system in the engine compartment and carry portable extinguishers as backup.
How often should a marine fire suppression system be serviced in NSW
Plan annual servicing and after any discharge. This helps meet Australian expectations and satisfies insurers and surveyors. We use FPAS-accredited technicians and EAHL-licensed personnel where agent handling is required.
Will a boat fire suppression system help with insurance on the Central Coast
Yes. Insurers often prefer vessels with automatic suppression and may offer better terms.
Do small boats in NSW need a fixed fire suppression system
All vessels with motors or fuel carry some fire risk. Portable extinguishers are essential, and compact automatic systems add protection, even on small boats.
How does FPT NSW support marine fire suppression systems across NSW
We select and install the right system for each vessel and provide ongoing maintenance and inspections to Australian Standards across Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong and the Central Coast.
