VIKING Wins Breakthrough Order for HydroPen™


Firefighting System


The globally exclusive HydroPen™ distributor and leading safety solutions expert, VIKING Life-Saving Equipment, has announced the signing of a fleetwide contract with a major global container shipping operator to integrate the HydroPen™ System for container firefighting. Beyond the revolutionary system developed by Rosenby Engineering, the scope of supply also includes MED approved mobile water monitors, providing a further boost to the operators’ onboard fire safety setup.


Typically, when container fires are at heights above the reach of the

crew, they are fought indirectly by dowsing the burning container and its surroundings with water. This conventional method is ineffective, dangerous, and can destroy precious cargo. The intelligently designed HydroPen™ System, however, uses pressurized water to drill through container doors, before automatically


switching to fire extinguishing mode – putting out the fire directly at its source.


The HydroPenTM System is able to


spray water, foam and even CO2 into containers – depending on the fire type. What’s more, the system only requires a ship’s existing fire hoses and water pressure to function.
