It is better to be prepared for disaster before it hits you and wipes you off the charts completely. One of the busiest and the riskiest businesses of all time is the delivery business. To be exact, the goods transportation and delivery business, because you never know what you would be required to carry as the next as the next cargo. Although most local and international transport businesses have already mentioned what goods they won’t be taking on deliveries, but when it comes to moving goods in huge bulks, there are no limits. Would you deny carrying crude oil to another country because they have legally signed a contract? Obviously not!

Obviously there isn’t oil present in every country to meet their requirements hence it is one of the main exports of the countries that have it in abundance. The only means of exporting it is through the transport ships the only vehicle of carrying tons of weight in a single journey. When carrying such inflammable stuff, the chances of blowing up in a ball of fire are increased a thousand times in case of carrying a normal delivery. One can’t be too careful and hence needs to be prepared in advance in case of such tragedy. Every ship carrying such cargo needs to have the FM 200 fire suppression system installed in it.

You can’t fight fire that is raging due to oil with water. We all know that oil and water do not blend in with each other hence using water as a fire suppressant won’t be a bright idea. The FM 200, often mistyped as FM 2000 also is a gas which does not need to blend in with oil. It simply does its job i.e. break the chain reaction causing fire to spread and vaporizes. It is one of the best fire fighting gases and has no problem when dealing with class A, B and C fire.

Since it is a gas, it has to be present in single skinned cylinders attached to the fire suppressant system. You cannot measure a single skinned container other than with the help of an ultrasonic liquid level indicator. It is the only gadget that can measure gas or liquids inside a container without physically touching the material it needs to measure. Apart from it, every other measuring device must touch the contents physically in some way or the other. You cannot open a single skinned cylinder and risk the gas to escape all at once. Tampering with it can also result in great damage.
