Hell or High Water: The Challenges of Dealing with Ship Fires | Hawkins Webinar

Ship fires continue to plague the maritime industry, with 2025 already witnessing several significant incidents. Whilst container vessels often feature high on the list of casualties’, fire does not discriminate. Other vessel types such as car carriers and roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) passenger ferries are equally vulnerable. The danger is not just confined to the cargo sector; engine room fires still pose a serious challenge.

In this webinar, marine fire expert, John Gow explores the complex realities of fighting fires at sea. Drawing on real-world cases and frontline experience, he will examine the unique obstacles faced by crews and emergency responders when tackling shipboard blazes. From containment strategies to coordination challenges, this session offers insights into one of maritime’s most pressing safety issues.
