What is a Fire Plan Container?
The T-ISS Fire Plan Container (also known as a fire plan holder) is a watertight, protective storage unit designed to keep onboard safety documents secure and accessible. These documents typically include a copy of the vessel’s fire plan and escape route plan, which are needed during emergencies.
The T-ISS Fire Plan Container is made of marine-grade stainless steel, offering exceptional durability in harsh maritime environments and long-lasting protection far superior to plastic or PVC alternatives. It comes equipped with wall-mounting brackets and a photoluminescent safety sign for quick identification.

Why do vessels need a fire plan container onboard?
Carrying a fire plan container onboard is a mandatory part of a vessel’s safety infrastructure. In the event of a fire or other onboard emergency, clear guidance is crucial for both the ship’s crew and any emergency responders who may come aboard.
By protecting and clearly displaying fire safety plans for each deck, the container ensures that emergency personnel can quickly understand the ship’s layout and respond effectively. Moreover, regulations such as SOLAS Chapter II-2, Regulation 15/2.4.1 and 2.4.2 require that Fire Control Plans are available at all times and stored in a durable, weather-resistant container near the gangway.
The T-ISS Fire Plan Container not only meets this requirement, but also exceeds expectations in terms of durability and visibility. It features photoluminescent signage, marine-grade stainless steel construction, and wall mounting brackets for easy installation.

It is designed to meet the highest standards for marine safety, featuring a flame-retardant stainless steel construction, photoluminescent signage for visibility in low-light conditions, and wall mounting brackets for secure installation. The container is suitable for all standard plan sizes and is built to last the lifetime of your vessel, even in harsh maritime environments.
