BBM: Realistic Training in Controlled Conditions

In our fire training facility, participants learn how to act in a truly life-like fire situation. They are confronted with intense heat, dense smoke, limited visibility, and constant time pressure. This facility is specifically designed for demanding courses such as STCW Advanced Fire Fighting, NOGEPA 2.6A/B, company emergency response, and realistic scenario-based team training exercises.

What makes our fire training facility unique is the careful balance between realism and safety. The space consists of multiple compartments that can be heated and filled with smoke, either individually or in combination. This enables the practice of a wide range of scenarios: from an engine room fire or onboard compartment fire, to complex situations involving disorientation, explosion hazards, or teamwork under breathing apparatus.

Target Audience

This training environment is used by maritime personnel, offshore teams, industrial emergency responders, and company emergency response officers who must be prepared for fire incidents. Both individual skills and team dynamics are central: participants practice communication, leadership, and decision-making under pressure.
