The ferry operator Scandlines has replaced all kinds of pipe seals onboard the recently built hybrid vessels »Berlin« and »Copenhagen« with Roxtec transits to ensure fire protection and water-tightness.

As Roxtec provided full documentation on sealing and insulation requirements [ds_preview]and supplied drawings including all needed types of approvals, Scandlines felt very confident in their choice, Roxtec reports. The ferry operator also uses Roxtec seals instead of traditional cable glands in the cabinets in the engine room. The shipping company wants to increase quality in general, and specifically for the fire-fighting system.

»Safety is extremely important for passenger lines. We invest to be sure that all cable and pipe transits are in order and that we meet all safety regulations,« says Fini A. Hansen, Coordinating Superintendent at Scandlines.

Scandlines will continue to use Roxtec transits all over their ferries the manufacturer informs. Roxtec seals are fire rated to marine standards (A60).
