Supply for fire and safety agreed
A supply agreement was signed at Seawork between firefighting and lifesaving equipment maker Marine Fire Safety and Williams Shipping.
Marine Fire Safety will provide a full range of equipment and service support for 16 vessels within the Williams Shipping fleet as part of the company’s Workboat 1.2.3 package that it has recently launched.
It includes liferafts, man overboard equipment, pyrotechnics and fire extinguishers, among other equipment.
“Staying on top of equipment service intervals and expiry dates, for all the fire and safety equipment onboard our vessels is time consuming business,” said Philip Williams, Managing Director of Williams Shipping. “Working with Marine Fire Safety and signing up to a fire and safety management scheme like Workboat 1.2.3, will alleviate a lot of that burden and give us more time to focus on other areas of the business.”
“As an independent family run company, having one of the UK’s longest established shipping companies sign up to our Workboat 1.2.3 service package is a real privilege. Workboat 1.2.3 blends all areas of our firefighting and lifesaving equipment supply and service business together, to create a free and efficient management system, which not only helps to streamline operations but provides a cost-effective solution,” said Chris Waterman, Technical Sales Manager (Safety) at Marine Fire Safety.
