THB Verhoef has partnered with Daspos A/S. in its mission to prevent engine room fires before they occur and bring ships and people back to port safely.
THB Verhoef has a long background of providing products and services to customers in the maritime industry and will act as a sales agent for the Daspos Fire Prevention System including the LAS -10 Detector and H-18 Hot Box Detector to the Benelux market with a focus on ships in the commercial and merchant sectors.
The Daspos System provides dual measurement detection and alarm of both oil mist/gas spray, methanol as well as hydrocarbon vapours. Any leakage of hydrocarbon will be detected by the system and its high airflow rate ensures far more reliable detection than light-scatter and other comparable technologies.
‘Proper fire prevention measures save valuable lives, time, and money,’ a THB Verhoef representative commented.
‘The Daspos Fire Prevention System is the 24/7 watch guard that never sleeps, giving crew members more time to react and dramatically reducing the risk of a fire.’
Daspos was established in 2010 to meet a need in the marine sector for more effective, reliable, and faster detection of potential hazards avoiding the risk of fires in vessel engine rooms. The goal was to be able to predict a fire breaking out before damage could be done. The Daspos team has worked with a number of shipping companies to develop a new approach to making vessel engine rooms safer places to work – both for the people who work directly in the engine room and for other employees and stakeholders at risk of being affected by fires on board vessels.
