FIFI4MARINE has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first battery fire-suppression system to receive RINA Type Approval. This recognition comes at a crucial time as lithium-ion battery installations are rapidly increasing within the maritime sector, highlighting the growing need for effective fire protection solutions.
The RINA Type Approval certificate was officially presented to founder Cor Meedendorp and his team during the SMM Hamburg 2026 event. This certification signifies that the product design has been thoroughly evaluated and approved for repeated applications, streamlining the process for future projects.
With this Type Approval, the need for a complete design assessment for each new project is minimized. However, it still requires that vessel-specific integration and compliance with class and statutory requirements are addressed as necessary. This achievement not only underscores FIFI4MARINE’s commitment to safety in maritime operations but also sets a precedent for future innovations in fire suppression technology.
