MARINE
Safety Solutions for Shipbuilding and Shipyards
The highly specialised maritime sector of shipbuilding and maintenance presents huge challenges in terms of safety for workers, and protection for vessels.
Shipyards, like other industrial sites, are rife with potential hazards, including hot works, hazardous cargos, maintenance challenges, and restricted spaces. With the global shipbuilding market projected to exceed $195 billion by 2030, and the associated risks of fire and water damage increasing as the industry expands, it’s critical that shipyards implement reliable Marine Safety Solutions. Our WES and REACT wireless systems are specifically designed to address the unique challenges of shipbuilding and repair sites. Engineered to meet the highest standards of compliance, they provide real-time monitoring and alerts, ensuring the safety of workers and assets while meeting the complex demands of shipyard operations.
BENEFITS
Built for the Demands of Shipbuilding and Maintenance
Fire Risk Management
Early detection of fire risks associated with hot works, temporary power and changing vessel layouts during construction, maintenance and refit.
Real-Time Alerts
Real-time targeted alerts support faster on-board response and escalation to shore-based teams when required.
Efficient Evacuation
Clear audible and visual warnings support safe, coordinated evacuation across active work areas on board.
Flexible, Wireless Deployment
Fully wireless systems adapt easily as work areas, compartments and risks change throughout shipbuilding and MRO activities.
Robust Wireless Connectivity
Self-healing mesh network technology ensures reliable communication across large, complex vessels and dock environments.
Regulatory Support
Supports compliance with marine fire safety requirements during construction, maintenance and repair, where permanent systems are not yet active or temporarily impaired.
SOLUTIONS
Ensuring Safety During Shipbuilding and Maintenance
Shipbuilding and maintenance activities present one of the highest fire-risk phases in a vessel’s lifecycle.
Hot works, temporary power, combustible materials and confined spaces increase risk at a time when permanent fire protection systems are often incomplete or unavailable. Implementing reliable, wireless fire and life safety systems is critical during these temporary and evolving conditions. Ramtech’s wireless solutions provide early detection, clear warning and real-time alerts to support rapid response on board and effective coordination with shore-based teams. This helps protect workers and assets while maintaining safety and continuity throughout shipbuilding, maintenance and refit activities.
Wireless Evacuation System
Fast, reliable evacuations for high-risk environments.
Wireless Temporary Fire Alarm
Automatic fire detection for safety and compliance.
Emergency Notification System
Real-time alerts for rapid response and protection.
Water Leak Detection System
Automatic leak detection with real-time alerts for fast action.
Having real-time alerts sent straight to our phones via REACT means we can respond to emergency situations much quicker. Works perfect with our WES system.
INSIGHTS
Understanding the Challenges of Shipbuilding and Maintenance
Shipbuilding and maintenance take place in complex, changing environments where fire risk is elevated and permanent protection may not yet be in place. Ramtech’s solutions are designed to address these conditions, supporting safer working practices and protecting people and assets during the highest-risk phases of a vessel’s lifecycle.
40%
of shipyard fires are caused by hot work such as welding, cutting, or grinding, making fire detection and prevention critical. Source
25%
of accidents in shipyards involve slips, trips, and falls, underscoring the need for robust worker safety measures and real-time emergency notifications. Source
50%
of water supplied globally may be lost due to leaks, leading to costly damage, delays, and project overruns, highlighting the value of early leak detection systems. Source
