private cargo airline Silk Way West Airlines has
invested in Mantle fire containment covers (FCCs), manufactured by AmSafe
Bridport, to maximise safety during the transportation of
"volatile cargo, such as lithium ion batteries and related products".
President
of AmSafe Bridport, Jason Abbott, explained: "The
industry has witnessed recent incidents where two main carriers effectively
contained lithium-ion cargo fires with Mantle fire containment covers.
Ultimately our FCC products reduce risk, improve safety and more importantly
save lives.
"We are delighted that Silk Way West (SWW) Airlines
have made the decision to use our FCC products and set a benchmark in the
industry for transporting cargo and people safely."
Emile
Khasanshin, Silk Way West's vice president global cargo logistics,
added: "We are further investing into cargo and flight safety measures
that are paramount for our airline, and I am happy we found a robust yet
cost-effective solution."
In 2018 AmSafe Bridport successfully tested its Mantle
fire container cover on an AKE container with 2000
batteries, 2L Ethanol and a Class A material. This test was followed by
the world's largest successful lithium ion test comprising 5400 batteries inside an AMJ
container, again with a Mantle FCC.
Silk Way West aims to be 100 per cent covered in all
areas of fire containment within the next year, reports London's Air Cargo
News.
