A well-equipped marina typically includes fire extinguishers, fire hose reels, emergency call points and specialised systems such as fire carts or fixed firefighting equipment.
Local and international marina safety regulations often specify the types, placement, and quantity of fire emergency equipment required, depending on the size of the marina and the vessels it accommodates. Meeting these standards not only protects property and lives but also enhances a marina’s reputation for safety and compliance.
