Fire protection and fire fighting on ships online courses that aim to raise awareness for fire incidents onboard ships.
In 2020, according to Allianz, there was an approximate average of one fire every two weeks onboard ships, while fire/explosion remained the third most common cause of ship total losses (11%) over the past decade. Any outbreak of fire on board a ship poses a significant risk to the safety of the vessel and to everyone on board.
