AdvanTec Marine is pleased to announce a major milestone: both its Canadian manufacturing facility in British Columbia and its Oregon, USA facility are now certified to produce fire-rated marine doors.
With the Canadian site receiving MED Wheel Mark certification — making it the only such facility in Canada — AdvanTec now proudly holds fire-rated door certifications on both sides of the border.
Commitment to safety and innovation
New chapter as AdvanTec strengthens its position as a trusted partner for shipbuilders worldwide
This achievement underscores the company's unwavering commitment to safety and innovation, and marks an exciting new chapter as AdvanTec strengthens its position as a trusted partner for shipbuilders worldwide.
"This dual certification across both our Canadian and U.S. facilities allows us to better serve our customers with shorter lead times, tariff-free manufacturing, and complete compliance with international safety regulations," said Dean Robinson, Director of Products & Business Systems, AdvanTec Marine.
Highest international standards
AdvanTec Marine offers A0, A15, A30, and A60 fire-rated doors from both its Canadian and U.S. facilities. These doors are engineered to meet the highest international standards and are available in both Watertight and Weathertight configurations:
- Watertight fire-rated doors are designed for watertight bulkheads below the freeboard deck and are capable of withstanding static head pressure from either side.
- Weathertight fire-rated doors offer robust protection against driving rain and washdown, making them ideal for above-deck applications.
Key classification society requirements
AdvanTec fire-rated doors are built in accordance with the IMO 2010 FTP Code Part 3 and hold MED certification
All AdvanTec fire-rated doors are built in accordance with the IMO 2010 FTP Code Part 3 and hold MED certification by DNV, ensuring they offer the same fire resistance as the structural bulkhead into which they are installed.
Additionally, the doors meet key classification society requirements, including Lloyd's Register (LR), DNV, Bureau Veritas (BV), and American Bureau of Shipping (ABS).
