About the Book

Fire at sea is not a single event.
It is a developing situation-shaped by time, decisions, and control.

Shipboard Fire Control & Command is a professional reference work focused on the operational reality of firefighting in maritime environments.

This book goes beyond basic procedures and standard training. It examines how fires develop onboard ships-and how control is established, maintained, and sometimes lost.


What this book delivers
  • A clear understanding of fire behaviour in complex ship environments
  • Practical approaches to containment, control, and escalation
  • Leadership and decision-making under pressure
  • Insight into modern risks, including lithium batteries, vehicle fires, and new cargo challenges
  • Lessons drawn from real incidents and operational experience

More than firefighting

This is not just a technical manual.

It is a book about command-about recognising critical moments, maintaining control, and acting decisively when situations evolve beyond procedures.
