Fire on board is a huge danger-especially in the so-called safe harbor. Because the "normal" fire brigade cannot function in a safe harbor, in this case, the ship itself can only be used to extinguish the fire. Since 2005, 44 accidents have occurred in German ports alone, including 15 fires and 13 spills. The Fraunhofer Institute for Communication, Information Processing, and Ergonomics (FKIE) has launched a joint project, EFAS, which aims to significantly improve the safety and effectiveness of fire services through optimal equipment and technological innovation.
