Watertight doors that set the standard for maritime safety and reliability
When safety at sea depends on every detail, choosing the right watertight doors matters. For shipyards and shipowners these doors are not just components, but critical safety barriers that protect vessels, assets, and people.
At IMS Technologies, we deliver watertight sliding doors engineered for safety and operational reliability. With decades of experience, close collaboration with leading classification societies, and innovative technology, we help shipyards and shipowners strengthen safety onboard while ensuring compliance with the strictest international regulations.
Safety built into every door
A watertight door is not just about keeping water out, it’s also about keeping the crew safe during operation. That’s why every door from IMS Technologies includes:
Anti-entrapment technology to prevent injuries
Clear visual and audible alarms to ensure safe operation
Local and remote-control options for flexible and secure handling
These built-in features reduce operational risks and help shipowners meet stringent safety regulations, while also enhancing day-to-day crew safety.
Smarter maintenance with real-time monitoring
Safety doesn’t stop once a vessel leaves the yard. That’s why IMS Technologies, together with DNV, is introducing a sensor-based diagnostics system that continuously monitors the condition and performance of our watertight doors.
This proactive technology gives operators:
Real-time performance data
Early warnings of potential issues
Predictive maintenance capabilities that help avoid costly downtime
This makes safety predictable and manageable, instead of reactive, delivering long-term operational value for shipowners.
Watertight doors tailored to your vessel
Every vessel comes with unique layouts, technical challenges, and regulatory requirements. IMS Technologies designs each door to fit your vessel’s exact dimensions and operational needs, ensuring seamless integration into your structure.
For shipyards, this means faster installation and fewer costly adjustments. For shipowners, it means doors that perform flawlessly throughout the vessel’s lifetime, even in the most demanding environments.
Certified by the world’s leading classification societies
For shipyards and operators navigating a complex regulatory environment, third-party certifications are essential. IMS Technologies’ watertight doors are fully approved by:
DNV
ABS
Bureau Veritas (BV)
Lloyd’s Register (LR)
RINA
These approvals offer more than just compliance – they provide confidence that every IMS door meets or exceeds the industry’s strictest safety requirements.
With decades of expertise, IMS Technologies is a trusted partner to shipbuilders and fleet operators worldwide. Our doors are more than components; they are safety-critical systems designed to perform when it matters most.
By combining customization, innovation, and certified quality, we help shipyards and shipowners protect what matters - people, vessels, and business continuity.
