PCTC / Ro-Ro EV Fire Detection, Response & Thermal Runaway Readiness Tool

Answer the practical shipboard question: how prepared is this vehicle deck to detect, locate and control an EV or conventional vehicle fire before escalation? Simple mode gives a fast readiness screen. Advanced adds deck-by-deck detection layers, response timing, water balance, isolation, PPE, thermal monitoring and regulatory applicability.

Fast Vehicle-Deck Readiness Screen

Nine primary inputs. The Ship Universe screening readiness score measures preparedness and escalation control. It is not an IMO/class rating and does not estimate the probability that an EV will ignite.

Impact, water ingress, overheating, warning or other abnormal battery condition.

Ship & Space Basis

Vehicle Deck / Zone Register

Each deck is evaluated independently. The weakest deck controls the headline Advanced verdict. Smoke/heat requirements differ by ship type and construction basis; thermal imaging is an enhancement layer, not a substitute for approved fixed fire detection.

Use this as a readiness screen, not a fire-probability model: a high EV share does not mean a fire is likely, and a low EV share does not make a vehicle deck low risk. Damaged batteries, detection impairment, delayed water application, poor drainage, toxic-gas exposure, fire spread and re-ignition can dominate the operational response.
