Structural Fire Safety
& Compliance.

Structural fire safety is about more than regulatory compliance. It is about protecting your design, your investment and the safety of everyone on board.

WiseVoyage provides independent consultancy in structural fire safety, regulatory compliance and passive fire protection solutions. Helping owners, designers and project teams integrate practical fire safety solutions into the yacht design process.

Structural fire safety integrated into yacht design from the earliest stages.

Integrated safety

Safety integrated into the yacht design process, not treated as an afterthought.

Fire safety supporting both yacht design and regulatory compliance.

Design minded

Smart & practical solutions that support both safety and design intent.

Practical guidance on class approval and regulatory compliance for yachts.

Practical approval insight

Practical understanding of how class and flag expectations are interpreted and coordinated within real yacht projects.

Structural fire safety developed alongside onboard comfort and acoustics.

Acoustics considered

Fire strategies developed with onboard comfort, privacy and acoustic impact in mind.

Structural fire safety reducing redesigns, delays and project risks.

Reduced risk
& Cost efficiency

Helping prevent costly redesigns, material changes and unnecessary project delays.

Structural Fire thinking

Safety is a design discipline.
Everything is connected.

Unlike operational fire safety, structural fire safety focuses on protecting the structure and compartment integrity and escape capability. Structural fire safety is not just a compliance requirement.

In reality, it has a major influence on how a yacht is designed, arranged and ultimately experienced. It influences the general arrangement, compartmentation, fire boundaries, escape routes, ventilation, insulation, materials and overall yacht design from the earliest project stages.

The sooner these considerations are integrated into the project, the more effectively design intent, flag & class compliance and practical execution can evolve together.

Our approach

Early decisions.
Better outcomes.

The way systems are routed, layout & compartments are arranged and materials are selected all influence safety, comfort, weight, cost and build efficiency.

Our approach focuses on integrating these considerations from the beginning. Helping projects move forward with better guidance, fewer conflicts and clearer decision-making.

Late safety integration

Early safety integration

• Regulatory Compliance at the end

• Regulatory Compliance integration starting at concept

• Design & layout compromises

• Fewer design & layout compromises

• Acoustics conflicts

• Comfort considered

• Isolated checks

• Hollistic strategy

• Higher risk of rework, delay & cost

• Smoother builds, Fewer surprises

How we support projects

We provide focussed guidance at every stage of your project

Structural fire concept review during early yacht design.
Concept review

High-level review of structural fire concept, fire safety strategy and escape route philosophy. To identify key risks and opportunities at early concept stage.

Structural fire integration review for yacht engineering projects.
Integration review

Detailed review on general arrangement, compartmentation, fire boundaries, construction & interior principles, insulation concepts, systems and routing. To identify structural fire risks and support integrated design development.

Structural fire strategy for complex yacht projects.
