Bernhard Schulte (BS) decided to provide all their container ships with the Viking 52 HydroPen container firefighting system. Larger ships will receive two such systems while small ships will receive one. The main objective is to improve the ships’ ability to fight container fires, both at source and at height.
HydroPen is a drill-and-spray solution for fighting container fires. The system is driven by water pressure through an attached deck fire hose. When water pressure is activated, a turbine will drive the HydroPen drilling unit until it penetrates the container door. The system will then spray water into the container to extinguish the fire directly at the source.
The system can be deployed at heights up to and including the fourth standard ISO container above the main deck or upper lashing bridge. In addition to water, the system is compatible with foam or CO2.
* Refer to the manufacturer’s manual / video for detailed instructions.
After every use with salt water or at six monthly intervals, clean and grease the internal surfaces of the winch. Refer to the ship’s PMS for more details.
Familiarise the crew within two weeks from delivery of the HydroPen on board. Thereafter, train all crew on joining ship and periodically during drills on:
