A ship is both a workplace and a home. In a fire emergency, toxic smoke and intense heat in confined spaces can block escape routes within minutes. The CO2 system is a critical life-safety tool. Its remote activation capability allows crews to initiate suppression from a safe location, creating a vital window for evacuation. By containing the fire at its source, often in the engine room, it prevents spread to accommodation areas, safeguarding the crew's primary refuge. Strict procedures, including alarms and musters before release, are integral to its operation, ensuring personnel safety remains paramount. Thus, it serves as an essential shield protecting the floating community onboard.
