Small freighter on a trans Pacific voyage has gone on fire around the Aleutian Islands. Cargo is lithium batteries and the fire has been extinguished using CO2 injections into the hold.
Oh the irony!!!!!
Crew is safe and the vessel is at anchor with US Coastguard in attendance.

I don't see what the C02 is going to do. Lithium batteries have their own O2 source in the chemical make up don't they?

It's still very early days and they will only be equipped with the standard fit system I imagine, cargo of grain next week sort of deal.
In my experience the only thing our full flood CO2 systems in RSA extinguished was a couple of personnel that forgot to put the locking pins in once.

Interesting, brings back memories of disarming those systems in the sealed rooms in which equipment I maintained was housed.... I am NO scientist, but I suspect it is the chemical reaction within the battery that causes heat build up, and I thought the flames were generated as the result of that heat setting fire to external combustible materials set alight by the heat...? Thus Co2 will put out flames due to supressing oxygen available, it may not halt the chemical process producing heat...?
More than happy to be informed I have got that entirely wrong... again..(-:
