Fire-resistant bulkheads for international shipping

Our bulkhead systems, class A60, B0, B15 and B30, all have certificate of type approval. The DMS bulkhead systems are based on a metal-stud construction and are covered with FIPRO sheets at both sides. FIPRO sheets have been developed in cooperation with the manufacturer, which guarantees a seamless integration and implementation.

There is a great variety of finishing options, such as wall paper, plaster and painting. With a weight of approximately 21kg/m² for our class B0 and 24.5kg/m² for the class B15 and B30 bulkheads, they represent the ideal weight for international shipping.

Dutch Marine Systems’ motto is “sail in style, silent and safe”.

DMS ceilings have an entirely smooth surface and can be finished in any number of ways, such as plaster, acoustic plaster, wallpaper, paint, etc.

Changes during construction in dimension or shape are very easy to do and come at a low cost.

Bulkhead thickness of 70mm or 100mm allows space for building in electric cables and water pipes.

DMS bulkhead systems can be finished in any number of ways, such as plaster, wallpaper, veneer, marble and paint.

Personalised door frames

Our systems serve as basic frames for traditional outfitting of the interior, enabling the designer, architect and interior outfitter to maintain the craft and quality in an IMO-compliant ship build.

At your request, we can deliver frames separately to the doors. You can therefore fit the door-frames at the right time for your build. To avoid unnecessary damage to the doors, they can be delivered in the final stage of interior outfitting.

Ceiling systems for shipbuilding

Ship interior manufacturing is a widely respected craft and more demanding legislation requires certified products, offering a safe structure for interior outfitting.
