Fire Protection
An advanced lightweight Structural Fire Protection (SFP) system
is used throughout Incat vessels. Significant features of the SFP
include its water resistance, robustness, ease of installation and
rapid removal allowing access to vessel services behind.
Other fire protection installations fitted on the vessels include
single leaf hinged fire doors, single and double sliding fire
doors, guillotine fire dampers, engine room hinged fire dampers,
fire hatches and smoke baffles. These, combined with the
lightweight SFP, form the best fire protection system available
for high speed aluminium vessels.
Environment
Environmental issues are a focal consideration at Incat.
As an example; Incat has achieved the world's most
stringent 'low noise emissions' standards, through a series of
engine room innovations, reducing machinery noise whilst the
ship is alongside and ensuring interior noise levels are well
below recommended limits.
Wash and fuel consumption for Incat ships are improved by the
design features of maximum waterline length, shallow draft, weight
minimisation, fine bow shapes and shallow transom immersion.
The vessels incorporate energy saving lighting systems and
HVAC systems and engines that meet IMO emission regulations.
Environmental issues relating to production are constantly monitored
and waste is recycled.
Aluminium
Incat vessels are built using marine grade aluminium which
is one third the weight of steel. After application of design
factors the actual weight of an aluminium vessel will be
