One of the largest human created vehicles is the transport ships. These mammoth sized vehicles are a city that can move. Having such a huge size and weight, it is something that can cost in millions even if it is a second hand vehicle. It is due to them the world can trade globally hence it would not be wrong to say that the transport ships today run the entire global trade. There is a very small portion of goods that are transferred to the other parts of the globe via air. The maximum load is transferred through the seas as it is cheap and affordable even to the smallest business owner.

Although the water travelling giants are slow, they can easily carry tons of weight without the risk of sinking. An aircraft can only carry a specific weight and if it exceeds, the aircraft faces the danger of crashing. On the other hand, the capacity of weight a transport ship can carry is humongous. It can even carry goods that are much higher than itself on the deck if they do not fit inside the cargo holds. For businesses that are in a rush and have a small parcel to deliver, they choose the air mail, but when there is time and a large quantity is to be sent choosing the sea transportation is the best choice.


A transport ship carries the goods of a thousand suppliers wishing to send at a thousand destinations. It has a huge responsibility of transporting them safely to the described port. One of the biggest disasters that a ship can experience is getting caught in fire. Owing to the huge size, it is impossible for the crew to survey every inch of the ship and spot any spark or smoke right in the beginning. This tense task is best suited for the Novec 1230 gas suppression system as the automated system can easily detect the smallest smoke or rise in the heat in an area and take care of it.

The gas is present inside single skinned cylinders which are attached to the system. Since the gas usually has to travel long distances, it needs to be in the most pressure available. Whenever a new voyage begins, it is important to measure the gas pressure using the ultrasonic liquid level indicator. If the pressure seems low, there would be time to get a refill or a replacement. While in the middle of the sea there are no options and the ship may face danger.
