Marioff today announced it has signed a contract with Rauma Marine Constructions (RMC) in Rauma, Finland, to deliver HI-FOG® high pressure water mist fire suppression systems to four new Pohjanmaa-class multipurpose corvettes, part of the Finnish Navy’s Squadron 2020 project.

RMC, one of the leading shipbuilding companies in Europe, is building the ships for the Finnish Navy. Marioff, a leading developer of water mist fire protection technology, is a part of Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR), the leading global provider of healthy, safe and sustainable building and cold chain solutions.

“We are very proud to be selected as the fire protection solution provider for the Pohjanmaa-class vessels and provide our extensive experience in water mist fire protection technology for the benefit of this project,” said Juha Ilvonen, Managing Director, Marioff. “The HI-FOG system is a perfect solution for naval vessels, and we are delighted to continue our long-term relationship with Rauma Marine Constructions and the Finnish Navy.”

The operational safety of the Pohjanmaa-class corvettes will be ensured with Marioff’s Heavy Duty Electric Pump Unit (EPU HD) based HI-FOG system. The EPU HD is designed to meet very demanding specifications and extreme operational conditions. Throughout this project, Marioff is closely cooperating with all stakeholders to provide a tailored solution based on its long experience in protecting surface and subsurface vessels and their crews from fire.

Squadron 2020 is a Finnish naval project to replace aging war ships with four new corvettes. The new multipurpose corvettes will be capable of engaging in warfare with surface combatants and submarines, taking anti-aircraft measures and commanding maritime operations. The ice-breaking warships are expected to be delivered to the Finnish Navy by 2026 and operating by 2028.
