KMSS has won the contract to upgrade the fire detection system on the luxury cruise ships Sea Goddess I and II. KMSS will be supplying its Autronica fire detection system to the sister ships. The order follows the recent demand from the National Safety Transport Board in the USA for an integrated local buzzer in each cabin smoke detector. This buzzer, which is powered from the detector loop, will turn itself off after 30 seconds, allowing the passengers to hear the ship?s PA system after the local alarm, says KMSS. The upgrade consists of approximately 400 detectors and other field devices per ship, with delivery expected early 2002. The new system will replace a system from Thorn Security that was installed in 1994.
