Consilium Safety has unveiled its next-generation marine safety solutions—SMiG (Safety Management System interface Graphics) software and the C2P platform—at a seminar supported by the IMarEST UAE Branch in Dubai. The event was attended by 155 maritime professionals, reflecting strong industry interest in advanced safety technologies amid evolving operational and regulatory challenges.
The seminar focused on how shipping is grappling with larger vessels, reduced crew sizes and increasingly stringent safety regulations, making early detection and integrated safety systems more critical than ever.
Setting the tone, Nikeel Idnani, Honorary Secretary of the IMarEST UAE Branch, steered the discussion away from frequently cited themes such as decarbonisation and digitisation, choosing instead to spotlight safety. Drawing on his experience as a ship’s engineer, Idnani highlighted the severe risks posed by engine room fires and stressed how advanced technology can play a decisive role in preventing incidents and ensuring safe voyages.
In his welcome address, Manu Potty, Senior Vice President (MEIA), Consilium Safety Group AB, said the company has been a global leader in fire, flame and gas safety solutions for over a century, continuously evolving to meet the changing needs of the marine industry.
During a joint presentation, Mansoor Chaudhry, Vice President – Sales; Johan Olofsson, Key Account Manager; and Isak Nordberg, Head of Software Solutions, introduced SMiG, a new-generation safety management system that integrates all critical safety information into a single, intuitive interface. The system enables early detection, providing an average of four additional minutes compared to conventional fire alarm systems—time that can prove crucial in preventing escalation during emergencies.
The speakers also showcased the C2P platform, an advanced solution built on the trusted CCP foundation but featuring a modernised architecture and enhanced user interface. Designed to meet future safety demands, the platform offers a unified experience across fire and gas detection systems, supports integration with other safety-critical functions such as temperature monitoring and oil mist detection, and incorporates robust cybersecurity measures compliant with IACS E26 and E27 requirements.
Among the new hardware solutions presented was the MD9910 smoke and heat detector with Test On Demand (TOD) functionality, allowing certified testing to be conducted remotely without physical access to the detector—significantly improving efficiency and safety during inspections.
Addressing the industry’s shift towards alternative fuels, Consilium highlighted its advanced gas detection portfolio, including the T3000 gas detector capable of detecting up to 25 different gases, including ammonia. The GD10 P infrared gas detector was also showcased for its rapid response time, long operational life and calibration-free design.
Proactive oil mist detection featured prominently in the presentation, with Consilium demonstrating a high-capacity system that draws 10,000 litres of air per minute through its detector chamber to identify oil mist and gas leaks before ignition occurs. The solution aligns with the IMO’s Revised Code for Atmospheric Oil Mist Detectors (MSC.1/Circ.1086/Rev.1), approved in June 2025.
For cargo safety on container ships and car carriers, Consilium presented its Temperature Monitoring System (TMS), which provides continuous temperature monitoring of every container. Using patented “Computer-In-Cable Technology,” the system detects even minimal temperature anomalies—early indicators of potential fires—under extreme operating conditions.
These innovations leverage early detection technologies, AI-powered image recognition through SensEye and real-time personnel positioning to significantly reduce response times during onboard incidents. Consilium Safety reiterated its commitment to delivering reliable, compliant and future-ready safety solutions to the global marine industry.
