Sprinkler System Cleaning
Sprinkler System Cleaning
We clean and restore sprinkler systems on maritime vessels to ensure safety, compliance and reliable operation. Efficient, documented cleaning with focus on flow and corrosion control.
We start by inspecting the sprinkler system and identifying critical areas. All nozzles are removed, and we set up return lines and air vents to enable circulation. Where needed, we make minor modifications to access clogged or corroded zones. If leaks or weak points are discovered, we repair or temporarily patch them to allow cleaning.
We circulate NGP Marine Fluid through each zone, targeting corrosion, growth and mineral scaling. Each zone runs with chemical for 6–24 hours depending on the condition. We ventilate regularly to ensure proper circulation in all branches and collect particles in external filters for inspection.
In many vessels, the worst contamination is found in the main supply pipe from the seawater pump to the sprinkler room. We isolate and clean this line separately with high-temperature acid circulation. This prevents recontamination of clean branches and nozzles
After chemical cleaning, we flush the entire system with large volumes of seawater. This removes any remaining loose rust flakes and debris. In some vessels, this step also includes flushing previously untouched sections like overhead pipes or inaccessible branches.
Once flushing is complete, we reinstall all nozzles and test the system zone-by-zone with full water pressure. The goal is clear: every nozzle should fire correctly. All tests are filmed and included in the final report. Testing follows SOLAS 74/88 Reg. II-2, ensuring regulatory compliance across the full system.
You receive a full service report with photos, videos and observations. We highlight problem areas and recommend maintenance actions where relevant – such as freshwater flushing after use or avoiding mixed metals that cause galvanic corrosion. We also offer framework agreements for long-term maintenance.

Complete sprinkler system restoration
At NGP, we know how critical reliable sprinkler systems are for onboard safety and SOLAS compliance. Over time, seawater exposure causes marine growth, internal scaling and corrosion – reducing flow and increasing the risk of malfunction. Without proper maintenance, clogged nozzles or hidden pipe corrosion can lead to serious consequences during emergencies or inspections.
That’s why we offer a complete service designed to restore sprinkler systems to full functionality. Using eco-friendly chemistry, tailored setups and skilled technicians, we ensure that every zone, branch and nozzle is cleaned, flushed and tested.
Our service doesn’t just remove fouling – it gives vessel operators confidence. Confidence that every part of the system works when it matters. Confidence that documentation is ready for regulatory checks. And confidence that cleaning was done efficiently, safely and with full environmental awareness.
We’ve worked on everything from modern ferries to older vessels with legacy piping, and adapt our methods to the system onboard. Whether your sprinkler system is suffering from corrosion, poor flow or scaling – we deliver a fast, documented and sustainable fix.
Service agreements
We offer long-term maintenance agreements to ensure your sprinkler systems stay clean, safe and compliant. Regular cleaning prevents build-up, reduces repair needs, and simplifies inspection and testing procedures.
Global reach
Our team performs sprinkler system cleaning on all types of vessels, at ports across Norway and internationally. With flexible mobilisation and proven results, we help operators stay in control – wherever the vessel is docked.
