Welcome to Marine Systems Technology
B15/A60 Fire Doors, A60 Watertight Fire Doors, Level Access Door Systems,
B15/A60 Bulkheads, Non-Combustible Case Goods.
Over the last 10 years a group of composite technologists, engineers and designers have worked together to develop ground breaking products which combine the innovative materials technology known as COMFIRE in creating advanced engineered products with low weight and world leading fire resistance and sound attenuation qualities, particularly in marine environments.
COMFIRE Non-Combustible Composite Systems
COMFIRE, is a state of the art composite based on recycled lightweight minerals that are not only stable in fire but offer non combustibility with no smoke or toxicity and offering excellent thermal and sound insulation properties.
With COMFIRE we believe that Marine Systems Technology has a world leading product that not only complies with the tightest marine safety guidelines, but offers many practical advantages to the ship designer.
Marine Systems Technology Ltd. now boast a range of products that find applications throughout the entire interior of today’s Naval Ships, Offshore Vessels, Cruise Ships and Fast Ferries.
Recent innovations include:
A60 Sliding and Double Watertight Doors, supplied with our unique
Level Access system to facilitate wheeled traffic.
A60 rated Tandem Doors.
Large (up to 30m) A60 Hangar Doors.

MST’s fireproof doors attract takeover by PaR Systems
Winsford based Marine Technology Systems Ltd, and affiliated company MST Engineering Ltd have been acquired by PaR Systems Inc of Shoreview, Minnesota. PaR Systems provides a range of engineering systems for naval use. The company has acquired MST because it has successfully developed COMFIRE®, a non-combustible composite used in fireproof doors installation on the Royal Navy’s new Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers. PaR Systems has identified further market opportunities for this technology which will also add to the value of its existing portfolio of naval and marine products.
MST used development grants to create COMFIRE as a non-combustible composite which would contain fire in enclosed areas and can be also be fabricated into furniture and other items thus reducing the potential for fire. In 2012, a COMFIRE equipped watertight door became the first to pass the US Navy's most stringent N 30 fire test.
COMFIRE is a state of the art composite based on recycled lightweight minerals that are not only stable in fire but offer total non-combustibility with no smoke or toxicity and excellent thermal and sound insulation properties.
Commenting on PaR Systems’ acquisition of MST, Tony White, Managing Director of PaR Europe, said, “MST has successfully had COMFIRE tested and it meets the requirements of the Royal Navy and US Navy. It has a contract to provide fireproof doors for the Royal Navy’s new carriers and we, at PaR, see COMFIRE and other MST engineered systems being used in other Royal Navy ships. Our acquisition of MST provides us with the catalyst for developing business in Europe, especially for the naval and marine market places.”
