Cruise ships are one of the biggest wonders of mankind. The huge vessel spanning miles over the ocean is not simply a host for humans and their stuff, but it is a city that floats. The fresh water swimming pools to let people enjoy their time onboard and enjoy swimming under the open skies is one of the many attractions you can find there. The casinos restaurants and even shopping malls inside will not let you feel you are in some deserted place with no modern facilities. It is a wonder land that’s floating on water and lets you enjoy to your heart’s content.

When there are hundreds of people in the same place accidents are bound to happen. The overuse of electricity can be troublesome. Although the materials used in it are some of the finest on the planet, but misusing anything can let it break and fail. It is a must to keep ready for the worst and the unseen at all times. Hence the ship is a huge net of smoke and heat detectors while an unbelievably huge network of steel pipes is also present. These pipes are not for beautification or any other purpose but they are the roads built for CO2.

The CO2 & Marine CO2 Systems are installed on ships to protect them from fire. While an ignorant person may cause a small fire due to his stupidity, it can soon spread all over the ship within minutes. In case of fire on a ship chances of survival become scarce and people either have to jump into the open water or try to fit in the life saving boats. Most of the people do not know how to swim and even if you are an expert swimmer in the pool, the ocean is unforgiving and would soon gulp you if you do not know how to save yourself.

The crew is trained specially to handle such situations and they can easily save everyone if given a chance. But due to the chaos and panic that builds up they also are seen mostly calming people down and advising to follow their instructions. But when your life is at stake, you don’t lean about following orders but demand an immediate safe place away from the unbearable heat. If the fire suppression system is working flawlessly not a soul would ever come to know a fire had broken loose and taken care of because it acts within seconds and kills the flames before people realize what happened. This is why you’ll find the crew constantly checking the CO2 cylinders with the ultrasonic liquid level indicator to learn about the pressure.
