CO2 systems offer unique technical benefits crucial for shipboard safety. Unlike water or foam, CO2 is a clean, electrically non-conductive, and residue-free agent. Upon extinguishing a fire, it simply dissipates, leaving no corrosive or damaging residue behind. This characteristic is vital for protecting expensive and complex machinery like main engines and generators. It allows for faster post-fire recovery, inspection, and restoration of propulsion and power, minimizing costly downtime and potential towage. In the isolation of the open ocean, this ability to effectively and "cleanly" suppress a fire is key to preserving a vessel's operational capability and economic viability.
