Fire Suppression

Fire Suppression

Fire can be the greatest single threat to safety. Fast-acting and reliable fire protection systems are therefore critical to ensuring human and asset protection.

Effective Fire Suppression is a multifaceted challenge that demands a wealth of products, systems and knowledge. For over decades we have been striving to safeguard personnel and ships from the threat of fire. We provide a comprehensive range of high quality, cost effective suppression systems that are designed and produced to the latest marine standards.

Since 1933, Wormald Technology have worked in partnership with Owners/Ship Management companies in Australia providing every form of fire protection imaginable.

Cruise ship operators pride themselves in treating their customers to a cosmopolitan, relaxed atmosphere, providing a wide variety of daytime and evening activities and entertainment.  The expertise and experience of Wormald Technology within this important marine sector is unparalleled and we remain at the forefront in this highly specialised area.
