Prevent EV Fires Before They Start.

RoRoSafe is a non-invasive thermal and gas detection grid for vehicle carriers. A sensor cell sits beneath each parked vehicle on an enclosed deck, observing per-vehicle temperature and battery-vent gases continuously, and a fleet-side platform turns that telemetry into tiered bridge and shore alerts — closing the detection lag between an EV battery fault and crew intervention.

Conventional ceiling-mounted smoke and heat sensors only trigger once a fire has grown enough to reach them. RoRoSafe observes each vehicle directly with infrared thermal and electrochemical gas sensing, fusing both signals to flag a developing thermal event from vapour-phase off-gassing before visible smoke — in bench testing, 18–25 minutes ahead of ceiling smoke detection.

Yes. The system is non-invasive — no drilling of the deck, no modification to vehicles, and no hull changes. A single deck installs alongside the berth in roughly three working days, with no drydock required. The mounting method is the subject of a pending patent and is documented for pilot customers under NDA.

For every vehicle bay it tracks an infrared thermal field, electrochemical gas signatures associated with lithium-ion electrolyte venting (including hydrogen and characteristic VOCs), and vehicle presence. Telemetry is aggregated over a deterministic EtherCAT-class network and delivered to the bridge console with end-to-end measurement-to-bridge latency under four seconds.

No. RoRoSafe is the early-detection layer, not a suppression system. It is designed to sit alongside a vessel’s existing SOLAS fire-safety systems and buy crews time — surfacing a developing event early enough that the established response and suppression procedures can be used while the situation is still containable.

It is built for PCTC, ConRo, and RoPax tonnage carrying electric vehicles, and extends to port and terminal EV staging yards. The same per-vehicle grid pattern works on enclosed cargo decks and on landside storage, so operators, ports, and insurers can apply one detection approach across the EV supply chain.

A standard pilot covers one nominated deck on one vessel, deployed alongside the berth without drydock, with twelve months of bridge and shore-side dashboard access and a joint insurer/class-society review at the end. It stands alone commercially and is structured to extend to a full vessel, then a fleet, without architectural changes.

Not yet. RoRoSafe does not currently hold classification-society type approval or ISO/IEC 27001 certification, and we do not claim to. Type-approval engagement with IACS member societies begins as the engineering revision freezes for first deployment; once any programme awards approval, the certificate details are published on our Compliance page.

The architecture is modular. Each deck is split into failure-isolated segments served by redundant segment masters, so coverage grows from a single deck to a full vessel and then across a fleet with no architectural change. A fault in one segment never compromises vessel-wide monitoring, and the dashboard presents fleet-wide thermal posture in one view.
