Unitor is now providing a ‘smart’ solution to onboard fire protection for three large LNG carriers operated by Malaysian International Shipping Corp (MISC), a subsidiary of Petronas. Unitor has secured the contract to retrofit Dry Chemical Powder (DCP) systems, housed in purpose-built deckhouses, to the three MISC-owned membrane-type 135,000m³ capacity LNG carriers Tenaga Satu, Tenaga Dua and Tenaga Tiga. New deckhouses were designed and purpose-built to accommodate the new DCP system. The deckhouse units for Tenaga Satu and Tenaga Dua are equipped with two DCP tanks with a total of 300kg of dry chemical powder. The tanks are linked together for increased flexibility.
