IBMO for marine & offshore
When cables and pipes pass through bulkheads and decks, reliable sealing is essential. IBMO provides fire-resistant, gas-tight and watertight sealing systems for cable and pipe penetrations, ensuring compartment integrity in marine and offshore environments.
With extensive experience in passive fire protection, we design, manufacture and supply solutions that effectively prevent the spread of flames, smoke and hazardous gases. Our systems are tested in accordance with the IMO A.754(18) standard and are widely used in marine, offshore, oil, gas and petrochemical industries worldwide.

FAQ
Which certified fire-rated sealing system is suitable for cable and pipe penetrations on ships, FPSOs and offshore platforms?
The IBMO Multiple Profile System (MPS) is a MED-certified sealing system tested in accordance with IMO Resolution A.754(18) for multiple cables and pipes through decks and bulkheads. The MPS is available for A-0 and A-60 classified penetrations. For single and multiple pipe penetrations, IBMO supplies Flex Fire Seals for A-0, H-0, J-90 and J-120 applications.
Which IMO, MED and fire classifications are required for marine and offshore cable and pipe penetrations?
The required classification depends on the deck or bulkhead type, fire zone and possible fire scenario. The IBMO MPS system has been tested in accordance with IMO Resolution A.754(18) and is MED-certified for A-0 and A-60 classifications. Flex Fire Seals have been tested for A-0, H-0, J-90 and J-120 applications.
Is the fire-rated cable and pipe penetration seal watertight and gastight?
Not automatically. Fire resistance, watertightness and gastightness are separate performance characteristics that must be demonstrated through testing. IBMO sealing systems can combine these properties, providing protection against fire, water and gas on ships, FPSOs and offshore platforms.
How can a cable and pipe penetration seal be installed quickly and without installation errors?
Select a sealing system with a minimum number of components and no time-consuming peeling of layers. The IBMO MPS system requires only one profile type, regardless of the cable or pipe diameter. No layers need to be peeled, reducing installation time and preventing errors caused by incorrect peeling.
Which technical information and certificates does an engineer need to specify a cable or pipe penetration seal?
An engineer requires the deck or bulkhead type, opening dimensions, number of cables and pipes, and required fire, water and gas-tightness ratings. The MPS system requires only one profile type, regardless of the cable or pipe diameter. The MED or Type Approval certificate, approved configurations, insulation requirements and installation instructions must also be checked.
