Ünika’s Safe Return to Port Cables (WSR Cables)

In the event of a fire on board of a vessel, cables used to power critical equipments, must remain functional for a certain period of time to enable a safe evacuation. Regular “fire-resistant” cables commonly used in the market are designed and tested to function only under fire, without considering other aspects. However, in a real life fire, the cables are not only exposed to flames, but also to the water sprayed from the fire extinguishing systems as well as to the impacts of the falling materials destroyed by the fire. WSR cables developed by Unika are designed and manufactured to withstand these real fire conditions and the related test standards*.
