When the 33m private yacht M/Y Ziacanaia 1 was built in 2011 in Italy, it was equipped with an Eltek fire detection system. When spares and service for this system became obsolete, the maintenance costs just kept rising. The owner decided that is was time for the fire detection system to be retrofitted with a new, reliable system with good spare part availability and as maintenance friendly as possible.  

Lavastica has selected a FireFinder Marine system with Apollo Discovery Marine, because of its availability, ease of programming and low cost of ownership. Many marine fire detection manufacturers force an owner to hire an expensive engineer for fixing even the smallest fault or change. With FireFinder, we can offer remote assistance to fix nearly 95% of the faults and changes from distance, which saves the owner/operator a lot of time and money compared to competitive systems.

With a brand new FireFinder Marine 2-loop addressable fire detection system, supplied completely pre-programmed and ready to be installed, the vessel and its owner and crew now safely enjoy the Mediterranean.
