Cargo Fire and Loss Innovation Initiative (CFLII)
Prevent Cargo Fires. Protect Lives, Cargo, and the Environment.
The Cargo Fire & Loss Innovation Initiative (CFLII) is the world’s only collaborative innovation programme dedicated to solving cargo fire and loss in shipping. We run hands-on technology trials, apply lessons from other industries, and help bring proven safety solutions into real-world use – without the risk, cost, or delay of going it alone.

Why Cargo Fire, Loss, and Incident Risk Matters
Fires and other cargo-related incidents at sea don’t just threaten lives and cargo. They release toxic emissions, damage marine ecosystems, disrupt global supply chains, and lead to significant financial and reputational losses.
CFLII addresses these risks directly, helping the maritime industry prevent incidents before they escalate, while supporting ESG performance and broader sustainability goals.
