This course will provide a better understanding of International Fire Safety Systems (FSS) codes for marine professionals, highlight the special requirements of SOLAS, as well as addressing best practice when escaping a vessel in times of fire.
Maritime Fire Safety: SOLAS Requirements, Fire Prevention and Protection
Fire remains one of the most serious threats to life, cargo and vessels at sea, making a detailed understanding of maritime fire safety regulation and best practice an essential competency for anyone working in ship management, fleet operations or onboard roles. As SOLAS requirements and the International Fire Safety Systems Code continue to set the standard for how vessels are equipped, maintained and operated, professionals who can apply this knowledge with confidence are increasingly valued across the maritime and offshore sectors.
This certificate gives maritime and offshore industry professionals a thorough grounding in maritime fire safety, covering fire and explosion prevention, detection and suppression systems, crew and passenger escape requirements, operational readiness, onboard training and drills, and the special requirements for helicopter facilities and the carriage of dangerous goods. You will work through both parts of the FSS Code in detail, developing the knowledge to assess maritime fire safety inspection requirements and ensure vessels meet their obligations under SOLAS. Delivered 100% online by Lloyd’s Maritime Academy, the course is built around real-world case studies and weekly project work.
Whether you work in ship management, technical operations, crewing or compliance roles, this course supports career progression from Safety Officer or Marine Superintendent through to Head of HSEQ or Director of Marine Operations.
