OVERHEAT research project
The OVERHEAT project aims to provide an innovative digital solution for fire-fighting on container ships, integrating a global, real-time approach and prioritizing safety, environmental protection and regulatory compliance.
This initiative aims to pave the way for a new era of fire prevention and management in shipping.
Research theme: Maritime risk cluster
Project leader: IMAT (Italian Maritime Academy Technologies SRL)

Total budget: €7m, of which €5.8m subsidized by the European Union
Start date: 01/01/2024
Estimated project duration: 3 years
Keywords: Fire, container ship, digital solution, prevention, early detection, IoT connected sensors
Project goals
The objectives are numerous:
- reduce shipping accidents and damage to marine mammals,
- to understand the causes of shipping accidents in order to improve their prevention,
- implement automated systems that reduce the human factor,
- developing and integrating digital solutions for accident prevention into ship architecture and traffic control systems,
- detect container ship fires quickly and treat them safely, without recourse to outside intervention,
- limit exposure to toxic combustion products for crews, coastal and port communities,
- reduce the frequency of container ship fires.
