Ports, Terminals & Logistics — Fire Safety Systems and Requirements
Sector: Ports, Terminals & Logistics
Ports, Terminals & Logistics
Marine and logistics fire protection for ports, container terminals, warehouses, CFS and cold storage — designed around bulk cargo, flammable liquids and 24/7 operational demands.
Overview & Regulations
Ports and logistics facilities handle diverse and often hazardous cargo with continuous operations and large open areas that challenge conventional fire protection approaches. Athens Buildcon designs and installs foam suppression for flammable liquid berths, deluge systems for vehicle parking decks, high-expansion foam for CFS warehouses, and robust hydrant networks for terminal firefighting access.
- NBC 2016 Part 4 — Storage and Industrial occupancy
- DGFT and Customs requirements for bonded warehouse fire safety
- PESO regulations for flammable/hazardous cargo areas
- NFPA 11 — Foam Systems for flammable liquid areas
- TAC insurance requirements for port and logistics risks
- Fire hydrant ring main with yard hydrants and monitors
- Foam suppression systems for flammable liquid berths and tank farms
- High-expansion foam for enclosed warehouse areas
- Deluge systems for ro-ro decks and vehicle parking
- Fire detection — beam detectors and heat detectors for large open spaces
- Portable wheeled dry powder and foam extinguishers
- Fire water storage and pump room
Design Requirements
Key Requirements for This Sector
- Large Area CoveragePort and logistics facilities cover vast areas. Athens Buildcon designs extended ring-main hydrant networks and positioned monitors for effective fire water reach across the terminal.
- Corrosion & Marine EnvironmentAll systems use marine-grade materials — galvanised or SS piping, epoxy-coated panels, and weatherproof housings — to withstand salt air and humidity in coastal Maharashtra.
- PESO ComplianceAreas handling petroleum products, LPG or chemical cargo require PESO-approved fire systems. Our engineers manage all technical submissions to the Chief Controller of Explosives.
- Minimal Operational DisruptionPorts operate around the clock. We plan installations during vessel-gap windows and use pre-fabricated modules to minimise time in live operational areas.
