Essential Maritime Fire Safety Training for Every Seafarer
The Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting (FPFF) course is a mandatory maritime safety training program designed for all seafarers, cadets, and shipboard personnel. It focuses on understanding fire hazards onboard ships, preventing fire incidents, and developing practical firefighting skills in accordance with international maritime safety standards.
