Non availability of Indigenised Fire Detection System (FDS) installed onboard ICG ships (FPVs IBs)
The Fire Detection System (FDS) onboard ships is a crucial safety system designed to detect and alert the crew members about the potential hazards of fire at an early stage. Thereby, facilitate the ship in protection of human lives and valuable assets onboard from unforeseen fire incident.
The Fire Detection Systems (FDS) are currently manufactured in India. FDS needs to be indigenised for better product support, in order to keep the equipment operational by early provisioning of spares required for maintenance.
