Fire Fighting Systems (FFS) is a Norwegian manufacturer of high-capacity firefighting systems for marine and industrial applications. The company supplies external fire-fighting (FiFi) systems for tugs, offshore vessels, fireboats and port authorities, as well as land-based systems for refineries, tank farms and petrochemical facilities.[1][2]
Independent industry publications have described FFS as a major supplier in the external marine firefighting market, and award citations from Baird Maritime note that the company holds a significant share of global FiFi-class system installations.[3][4]
History
[edit]Fire Fighting Systems AS was founded in 2003 in Norway to supply external firefighting systems to the maritime sector.[5] The company’s growth coincided with increasing adoption of FiFi-class requirements on offshore support vessels, harbour tugs and dedicated fireboats.[2]
FFS’s primary engineering and manufacturing centre is located in Åmål, Sweden, where pumps, monitors and complete firefighting assemblies are produced for global distribution.[6]
Operations
[edit]The company is headquartered in Moss, Norway.[7] FFS maintains engineering, production and testing facilities in Åmål and operates regional service organisations in Europe, Asia and the Middle East, including a subsidiary in Singapore.[8][9]
Products and technology
[edit]FFS manufactures firefighting systems including pumps, drivers, gearboxes, foam proportioners, deluge equipment, remote-control systems and high-capacity water and foam monitors.[10] The company provides system engineering, fabrication, testing and commissioning in-house.[5]
Industrial monitors produced by FFS include models capable of more than 80,000 litres per minute for use in tank farms and petrochemical facilities.[11] Marine systems supplied by FFS meet FiFi-1, FiFi-2 and FiFi-3 class notations and are used on offshore support vessels, harbour tugs and fireboats.[2]
Notable marine projects
[edit]FFS systems are installed on several internationally recognised fireboats and emergency response vessels, including:
- FDNY Fire Fighter II – Sister vessel to Three Forty Three with comparable firefighting systems.[1]
- Branddirektor Westphal – Fireboat serving the Port of Hamburg, equipped with FFS pumps and monitors with a combined output of 120,000 L/min.[14]
- Port of Singapore fireboats – Maritime publications reference FFS-equipped systems used aboard Singapore emergency response vessels.[15]
Industrial systems
[edit]FFS supplies containerised, skid-mounted and mobile firefighting systems for land-based emergencies, including jetty fires, tank storage incidents and petrochemical facilities. Engineering partners report industrial system output ranges between 5,000 and more than 80,000 litres per minute, depending on configuration.[11][16]
Awards
[edit]Fire Fighting Systems has received recognition through the Work Boat World Awards, an annual programme assessing vessel performance and equipment market success.[17]
In 2024, FFS received the awards for Best Fire Pump Supplier and Best Fire Monitor Supplier from Work Boat World.[3][4][18] Baird Maritime’s award notes describe the company as a leading supplier in the global market for external marine firefighting systems.[4][3]
