On Tuesday, February 4, 2025, a fire broke out aboard the Frontenac Bulk Carrier at Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding, located in Door County. The fire occurred around noon while crew members were cleaning the dust container onboard. Although firefighters saw little smoke from outside, the interior of the ship was a different story. The crew had to carefully navigate through the vessel’s complex layout to locate the fire and ensure proper firefighting operations.

Firefighters from several local departments were called to the scene. Despite the challenge of accessing the fire inside the ship, the response was efficient, and the blaze was contained within approximately one hour. Fortunately, no injuries were reported during the incident, and the ship did not sustain structural damage that would affect its ability to continue operations. However, the fire caused an estimated $500,000 in damage, mainly due to the impact on equipment and materials aboard.

This incident highlights the importance of early fire detection, especially for cargo ships undergoing maintenance. Early detection systems can significantly reduce the risks and damages associated with onboard fires. For vessels like the Frontenac Bulk Carrier, which may face various hazardous conditions during cleaning and maintenance, advanced thermal imaging systems, such as the TRX600, TNC20 fixed mount, and TNC400PT from Planck Vision Systems, offer continuous monitoring to identify temperature anomalies before they escalate into major threats.

Planck Vision Systems’ thermal imaging technology provides constant vigilance in maritime environments, allowing for early identification of potential issues like overheating or sparks, minimizing damage, and ensuring the safety of crew and cargo. With the continuous monitoring capabilities of these systems, maritime operators can safeguard assets and mitigate the financial impact of unforeseen events like this fire.
