WELCOME TO Naval Damage Control

The World’s Only Dedicated Firefighting and Damage Control Conference

Returning for its 9th iteration, Naval Damage Control 2025 is the world’s only dedicated conference focused exclusively on naval firefighting, survivability, and damage control. Taking place in Southampton from 30 September to 2 October 2025, this unique event brings together the global naval community to address one of the most mission-critical aspects of maritime operations.

With a programme shaped around operational case studies, emerging technologies, and advanced training methods, the event will explore how naval forces and industry can work together to improve readiness and response in high-stress, high-risk environments. From platform survivability and crew safety to damage control doctrine and shipboard fire response, every session is grounded in real-world application.

Delegates will include active-duty personnel, naval engineers, firefighting specialists, damage control schools, shipbuilders, first responders, and leading industry partners—providing a truly international platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration.

Naval Damage Control 2025 is the essential forum for sharing best practices, learning from lived experience, and advancing solutions to today’s and tomorrow’s damage control challenges.
