Read about our recent projects.
MF Ryfylkeferjen
Westcon are building an aluminium battery hybrid ferry for Norled. RAFT have been chosen to deliver an innovative solution for fire suppression and cooling of the aluminium deck.
For Ryfylkeferjen, RAFT suppression have delivered water mist for machinery spaces, and the foam system for car deck areas.
The aluminium construction makes the vessel lighter, but the material properties represent a greater challenge regarding fire protection. This require extra capacity and cooling to protect the construction from fire that could potentially damage the structure.
In collaboration with Westcon and LMG, we have found a solution approved by the Norwegian Maritime Directorate.
DS Hestmanden
DS Hestmanden was buildt in 1911 and survived both world wars. The ship is now sailing as a museum. RAFT have tailor made a fire suppression system to preserve its purpose.
DS Hestmanden is Norway's war sailor museum. From 2021 and the years to come Hestmanden will visit ports along the Norwegian coast. Hestmanden is a memorial to Norwegian war sailors.
The ship has undergone extensive restoration and is now certified according to regulations for protected ships. One of the requirements to approve sailing along the coast, was the certification of fire safety. RAFT have contributed to the preservation of the historical ship. The water mist system is tailor made to blend in and keep the vessels interior as authentic as possible.
