Follow on Google News | Scandlines ensures safety on ferries with Roxtec transitsIn order to ensure fire protection and water-tightness, before and after a fire, ferry operator Scandlines in Denmark replaced all other kinds of pipe seals on the recently built hybrid ferries M/V Berlin and M/V Copenhagen with Roxtec transits
By: Roxtec International AB As Roxtec provided full documentation on sealing and insulation requirements and supplied drawings including all needed types of approvals, Scandlines felt very confident in their choice. Scandlines also uses Roxtec seals instead of traditional cable glands in the cabinets in the engine room. The shipping company wants to increase quality in general, and specifically for the fire-fighting system. "Safety is extremely important for passenger lines. We invest to be sure that all cable and pipe transits are in order and that we meet all safety regulations," Scandlines will continue to use Roxtec transits all over their ferries. Roxtec seals are fire rated to marine standards (A60). The estimated cost of a fire on board a ferry is 134,000 euro per minute.
