Ship ires – causing large cargo claims
Introduction
The risk of ires on board vessels is fortunately not very common as we can see from the statistics, but when ire does break
out the consequences can be severe, and this can lead to tragic outcomes such as loss of life and also large cargo claims. The
risk of a ire happening is something every seafarer is aware of and trained to respond to. When at sea there is no ire brigade
that can assist and it is only the knowledge of the crew and the equipment on board that will protect the vessel and crew from
disaster.
