Commercial shippingPreventing accidents and damage

In commercial shipping, leaks in the hull, tanks or piping systems can quickly lead to considerable risks – especially when transporting hazardous or environmentally relevant substances. Uncontrolled leaks of water, oil, chemicals or gases can not only endanger people and the environment, but also lead to costly delays and breakdowns in operations.

The Leak Stop Gun (LSG) offers an effective emergency solution here. The compact system enables leaks to be sealed quickly and reliably – even under pressure and in confined spaces. The CO₂-powered sealing balloon adapts flexibly to damaged or uneven surfaces and takes effect within a few seconds.

Simple and safe handling is crucial, especially against the backdrop of reduced crew numbers. The LSG can be used by the crew without special tools or extensive training and is a useful addition to existing safety and emergency systems on board. As a safeguard against the unexpected, it helps to limit damage, minimize downtimes and sustainably increase the operational safety of cargo ships.

During a frying oil accident at a Loswal in Kampen, we were able to immediately secure the water drainage thanks to the Leak Stop Gun and thus prevent 1,000 liters of palm oil from reaching the surface water. A tool you can really rely on in critical situations.

Our recommendation

Leak Stop Gun 400

Freisteller LSG 400

The LSG 400 is used to seal leaks with a diameter of approx. 120 – 350 mm. It is designed to withstand the pressure corresponding to a water column of 6-7 m.

FAQ

Leaks in tanks, pipes or hull areas on ships can pose a serious risk to people, the environment and operations, especially when transporting dangerous goods. LSG stops water, oil, gas and chemical liquids quickly and reliably.

The Leak Stop Gun is an autonomous and complete system for the rapid initial sealing of leaks. It is based on mechanical, pressure-based sealing technology, which is why it seals leaks in seconds, minimizing the risk of damage and costly delays in cargo shipping.

The Leak Stop Gun is a special tool and we recommend training. An application video and operating instructions are also available. However, the handling is so simple that every crew member will be able to use the LSG after instruction.

Yes, the LSG 150 and LSG S can be used under water. Both systems have been tested to a depth of 20 meters. In the salvage and wreckage industry, the system can also be used at greater water depths, in which case the sealing balloons are additionally equipped with pressure relief valves.

The LSG is designed as a universal system for almost all types of liquid and gas leaks. Whether on tanks, pipes, hoses or containers – the system effectively seals leaks both in unpressurized environments and under pressure. Thanks to modular system variants and optional extensions, the LSG is impressive even under extreme conditions: It seals leaks in hard-to-reach places just as reliably as in underwater applications.

This broad performance spectrum makes the LSG indispensable equipment for professionals and private users alike. The technology is used worldwide by fire departments, in the navy, in industrial companies and in transportation.

The LSG should be visually inspected and cleaned after each use. For frequent use, please grease all moving parts (piston rod, trigger lever, safety lever). If the LSG is not used, an annual visual and functional inspection is sufficient. The LSG is always equipped with a new sealing balloon and a full CO₂ pressure tank for the next deployment
