Foam Fire Extinguishing System

Minimax Viking (joint venture Minimax Germany + Viking Denmark) is a leading manufacturer of foam fire-extinguishing systems for the marine sector. Foam extinguishing is standard on tankers (deck foam system), offshore platforms (helideck foam) and as supplementary extinguishing in engine rooms. AFFF foam (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam) is currently the standard, but is increasingly being replaced by fluorine-free alternatives due to PFAS environmental concerns.
