Description du projet
Des solutions innovantes pour prévenir et gérer les incendies de cargaison
Le transport maritime représente 90 % du commerce mondial. Les incendies de cargaison constituent toutefois une menace importante pour les porte-conteneurs. L’absence d’exigences relatives aux systèmes fixes de détection d’incendie sur ces navires est préoccupante. Le projet OVERHEAT, financé par l’UE, s’attaque à ce problème en prévenant et en gérant les incendies à bord des porte-conteneurs. Il développe des solutions innovantes de gestion des incendies conformes aux réglementations de l’Organisation maritime internationale, en utilisant des capteurs IdO et en les intégrant dans une solution numérique. En outre, il évaluera les meilleures pratiques et la culture de la sécurité pour prévenir les incendies, et mènera des activités de validation et de démonstration de la faisabilité et des avantages des solutions proposées.
Objectif
Maritime transport represents the centre of global trade with about 90% of the goods’ volumes and values worldwide. Nowadays, containerships are built with the same basic design principles as the older smaller container ships, without accounting for possible consequences that could impact safety. Cargo fires represents one of the most important threats of this kind of ships (also for ferries with container on the truck). On one hand, fire causes large losses of humans and/or cargoes, on the other hand fire is impacting coastal zone and marine protected areas. Currently, there are no requirements for the installation of fixed fire detection systems above the weather deck of a container ship. Innovative strategies for containership fires prevention and management (OVERHEAT) main goal is to prevent and manage, in case of occurrence fire accidents on board of containerships. OVERHEAT brings novel fire management solutions for Prevention, Early Detection and Response which are key aspects to assure safety of people and the protection of the environment. The development of a Digital Solution (DS) will provide the overall situational picture on board and surrounding the vessel. Furthermore, integration of IoT sensors (fixed and mobile) and UAS will provide the ad-hoc system for the prevention, early detection and rapid response of fire. Best practice and assessment of safety culture will be conducted to prevent fire and understand how people perceive safety. Hence, OVERHEAT prepares a truly new generation of digital fire management solutions: complete, seamless, real time and in line with IMO regulations (integrated in the vessel IT infrastructure). The impact of the proposed solution will be initially evaluated by performing validation activities in simulated environment and then executing demonstration activities in a real environment, with use cases that will be identified, described and detailed during the research activities, to prove the feasibility and benefits.
