Fire Protection for Ports & Marinas
Fire protection for port facilities, marinas, marine workshops and waterfront commercial premises in Bundaberg, Gladstone and the Capricorn region.
Fire safety for ports & marinas
Port and marine environments combine fuel, electrical plant, fibreglass and composite materials, warehousing and public access — often in open or semi-enclosed structures exposed to salt air and weather. Regulators and insurers expect maintained fire equipment and documented testing like any other commercial site.
Bundaberg Port, the Gladstone waterfront, Urangan and Rosslyn Bay marinas, and marine workshops along the Capricorn Coast all need fire safety systems suited to mixed industrial and public use. Chandlers, boat yards, fishing co-ops, port warehouses, fuel areas and waterfront hospitality each present different hazards that must be reflected in extinguisher type, detection and emergency lighting.
Mercury Fire Protection services marine and port-related businesses across our region. We maintain extinguishers rated for fuel and electrical risks, test emergency lighting in workshops and offices, service detection where installed, inspect hose reels on larger facilities, and test & tag portable equipment in yards and workshops. Salt air and outdoor storage are factored into equipment selection and mounting.
We understand seasonal peaks — fishing seasons, regattas and holiday boating traffic — and can schedule maintenance before busy periods so your facility stays compliant when throughput is highest.

Ports & Marinas — FAQs
Common questions about fire protection for ports & marinas. See our full FAQ page for more.
Do marinas and boat yards need fire extinguishers?
Yes. Workshops, chandleries, occupied buildings and fuel-handling areas on marina and port sites typically require maintained fire extinguishers and often emergency lighting. We assess your facility and keep records current.
Do you service Gladstone and Bundaberg port areas?
Yes. We cover Bundaberg Port, Gladstone waterfront, Urangan and marine businesses across our service region. Call to confirm your facility.
What extinguishers suit marine workshops?
Electrical and fuel areas typically need CO₂ or ABE units; general workshop areas need ABE dry powder positioned near exits. We survey the site and install the correct types and sizes.
