Fire Prevention Technologies NSW (FPT NSW) was engaged to work with the “Bella Laqua” during its survey. The vessel is fitted with a NOVEC 1230 Gas Suppression system. During the inspection, an issue was identified with the suppression cylinder, which could potentially render the vessel unseaworthy. Naturally, the owner sought a solution to keep his asset operational on Sydney Harbour and avoid costly downtime and income loss.
The solution
To keep the vessel operational, our team supplied a replacement cylinder from our extensive stock while the damaged cylinder was expertly repaired.
With the vessel docked at Darling Harbour, NSW, and after a comprehensive risk assessment, our technicians reinstated the NOVEC 1230 cylinder to AMSA requirements within just a few days.
Installation and compliance
This resolution brought Bella Laqua back into operation and underscored FPT NSW’s marine fire protection expertise. As independent specialists in marine fire suppression, we provide purpose-built solutions tailored to boats and vessels. We design, install, and maintain advanced fire suppression systems tailored to the harsh marine environment.
These systems utilise clean agents, such as Novec 1230, that activate rapidly and leave minimal residue, protecting sensitive engines and electronics while keeping the crew safe.
FPT NSW’s approach emphasises compliance and reliability. Every installation meets stringent standards (AS 4214, ISO 14520) and is serviced under AS 1851 by FPAS-accredited, EAHL-licensed technicians. The result is that whether it’s a luxury yacht or a commercial vessel undergoing survey, its fire suppression system remains fully compliant.
Responsiveness ensures minimal downtime
In the Bella Laqua case, we replaced a damaged cylinder immediately from inventory, keeping the vessel operational while the original unit was repaired. More broadly, FPT NSW designs systems that activate quickly to control fires and provide ongoing maintenance, giving operators confidence that their vessel is protected without interruption.
From Sydney Harbour to Newcastle, FPT NSW supports marine clients across NSW, performing installations, regular servicing, and safety checks in accordance with Australian Standards. Each project is handled with independent, expert advice. We are not tied to any single brand, matching every vessel with the ideal suppression solution tailored to its specific needs.
For vessel owners, this independent approach means they receive the best system for their specific situation.
“Fast response and compliant fire suppression solutions can be the difference between costly downtime and keeping a vessel safely operational.”
