Fire and Safety Equipment for Ships in Nigeria – Wigmore Trading
In maritime operations, fire and safety equipment is not just a regulatory requirement—it’s a critical line of defense protecting lives, cargo, and the vessel itself. Whether your ship is docked at Apapa, Port Harcourt, Onne, or operating offshore in Nigerian waters, your safety gear must be fully functional, SOLAS-compliant, and regularly serviced.
Wigmore Trading is your trusted partner for sourcing and delivering high-quality fire and safety equipment for ships in Nigeria, ensuring compliance, crew safety, and operational readiness.
Why Fire and Safety Equipment Is Crucial for Vessels
Fire hazards onboard can arise from:
-
Engine room operations
-
Electrical faults
-
Galley mishaps
-
Cargo hold incidents
-
Fuel leaks or chemical exposure
Beyond fire, marine vessels face safety risks such as man-overboard events, collisions, and medical emergencies. Without the right equipment and periodic servicing, vessels risk:
-
Failing port state inspections
-
Crew injuries or fatalities
-
Heavy penalties for non-compliance
-
Disruption of voyage or detention
