Regulations

We love regulations - we have solid knowledge in maritime regulations and are engaged in the amendments and the formulation on new regulations.

Maritime fire regulations are complex as they are designed to ensure safety across a wide range of vessels, routes, and conditions. Many maritime safety regulations provide openings for alternative designs beyond prescribed requirements. RISE has world leading expertise and laboratory facilities to assess and design alternative solutions.

Risk assessment

Through fire risk assessment we can help verify an adequate level of safety for innovative and alternative designs that go beyond prescribed requirements. RISE has world leading expertise and laboratory facilities to assess and design alternative solutions.

We have significant expertise in cost-benefit anlaysis based on the International Maritime Organization guidance for Formal Safety Assessment (FSA).

New fuels, materials and cargo may need alternative fire safety design and outside-the-box-solutions. When you need help to think anew, you should get in touch with us!

User centered design

RISE is a driving force in research that affects fire safety onboard, both technical and operational. We have experts in human and organizational factors, highlighting the usability and design of systems that can help the crew to perceive, understand and fight fires. This can be supportive in the phases of a shipbuilding project, to include a crew-centered fire safety design.

Fire investigation

Our fire investigators are highly skilled in determining the cause and course of fires, both in components and on whole ships. We can also assist with this expertise in legal processes.
