  1. Containers leave time to abandon ship. I'd rather see than than be on an LNG tanker afire in the middle of the ocean.

  2. Containers of flammable materials could easily carry an internal fire suppression system appropriate to the cargo but that would (mostly) be too expensive vs. the risk of cargo and vessel loss. I use 40' High Cubes as machine shop and vintage motorcycle garage space and can inert a whole container with the industrial wheeled CO2 extinguishers I scored at auction. I placed them just inside my (added) personnel doors for that purpose. I can slap the lever, close the door and walk away but of course containers for shipping need an automatic system. CO2 is cheap and carbon neutral in most of its production so returning it to the atmosphere it came from is NBD. Automatic fire suppression is a long-solved problem for restaurants who mostly use food-safe agents. Maritime fire suppression is interesting so maybe Sal will grace us with a video on that and civilian damage control.
