About us

The team at FIFI4MARINE is happy to help think about the safe deployment of Lithium Ion batteries.

Sustainability is already, or increasingly, playing an important role at many companies.

Replacing fossil fuel propulsion when entering and leaving a port is increasingly a key requirement of port authorities. In addition, more and more different types of waterborne transport are equipped with electricity-powered engines such as boats, ships, ferries and cargo transport.

 

More inland vessels are also expected to charge using shore power facilities. In ports, you see more and more initiatives where batteries are included for the purpose of power supply. Lithium Ion batteries, large and small, have a chance of igniting. The disadvantage of such fires, also known as Thermal Runaway, is that it is difficult to control. Let alone extinguishing them.

FIFI4MARINE consists of a team of specialists. Knowledge and experience has been gained from our past as a battery manufacturer and battery supplier. Because we understand better than anyone else how a potential fire in a Lithium Ion battery arises, we have developed an effective Lithium Ion fire extinguishing solution. 

Every employee understands that in case of a battery fire, quick and effective extinguishing ensures a safe Lithium Ion battery solution. From in-depth knowledge of battery technology, detection technology and electrical control of microprocessors from the battery extinguishing system, to optimising foam viscosity which can extinguish and post-extinguish a Thermal Runaway of Lithium Ion batteries with as little resources as possible. 

In doing so, it contributes to a safe environment for crew, passengers and cargo. Continuity or a quick return to normal is our objective. 

FIFIMARINE can help you with standard solutions but also with customised solutions.

We are proud to present our team aan you before.

Cor Meedendorp

CEO / Founder
The grandson of the inventor of one of the first cow's milk machines, Cor started his career as an electrician. From the beginning, he gained a lot of experience in luxury yacht building.

He had his own shipyard in which he was increasingly asked to equip yachts and ships with batteries to provide the desired power supply. As a result, Cor started developing and manufacturing his own battery. Initially many deliveries in the shipping industry where he is seen as an expert in battery technology. The need in the market to also install increasingly safe batteries in which a possible Thermal Runaway has to be extinguished made Cor Meedendorp also focus on developing a thorough and effective extinguishing system. His knowledge and experience of shipping but also knowledge of batteries naturally came in handy in this regard.

Since 2017, Cor has helped many shipping-related projects and companies with FIFI4MARINE to complete and safe battery environment by offering effective foam extinguishing system. Besides FIFI4MARINE, Cor Meedendorp is also CEO of FIFI4PARKING fire extinguishing solutions for Parking Garages and (Internal) Transport.
