Lithium safety for maritime environments

Lithium battery systems are rapidly becoming standard onboard vessels. From tenders to energy systems, the risk of thermal runaway increases in confined, high-value environments where safety is critical.

Failure is not an option at sea

Onboard vessels, lithium battery incidents can escalate rapidly due to confined spaces, limited access and high-value surroundings. Traditional fire response systems are often too slow to prevent damage.

In maritime environments, incidents must be detected and controlled before ignition occurs.

What makes lithium risk critical onboard?

  • Confined spaces increase pressure and heat buildup
  • Limited evacuation and response options
  • High-value assets and interiors at risk
  • Fire systems react after ignition
  • Downtime and damage are extremely costly

Engineered containment for maritime safety

Schneider containment systems are designed specifically for maritime environments, where early detection, controlled intervention and full containment are essential. By integrating detection, suppression and isolation into one system, incidents are stopped before they can spread to surrounding systems or interiors.
