How do I know what fire-fighting equipment my vessel must carry?

A vessel's fire control plan and its SOLAS fire-safety requirements set the portable extinguishers, hoses, foam, and fixed systems it must carry, by type and capacity. Suppliers match stock to that plan, so quoting the fire control plan or the equipment list lets them supply compliant replacements.

Is supplying fire equipment the same as servicing it?

No. This category covers the supply of extinguishers, foam, hoses, and fixed-system components; the periodic inspection, recharging, and hydrostatic testing that keeps them certified is carried out by fire and safety servicing providers. Buyers often use one supplier to replace obsolete equipment and another to service what stays aboard.

When should fire-fighting stock be renewed?

Equipment is checked against the fire control plan at survey, so owners replace damaged or obsolete items and top up foam and extinguishers ahead of survey dates. Comparing suppliers on range and compliance before a survey window avoids a deficiency being raised during the inspection.
