Abstract
A modular damage control system and portable damage control apparatus for integrating damage control monitoring information with a transport vessel's centralized monitoring system. The modular damage control system includes a centralized monitoring system, portable equipment installation, at least one alarm, and a relay enclosure. The portable damage control apparatus includes at least one alarm and a relay enclosure, further comprising an external power supply, relay, end of line resistor, and alert device. The portable damage control apparatus allows for plug-and-play type integration with a centralized monitoring system, wherein the system described herein can enable the monitoring of hazards to a portable equipment installation by interfacing with a transport vessel's damage control network. The invention may also include a maritime vessel, intermodal containers, a potentiometer, discrete resistors, and an interface panel for displaying information specifying the alarm state to a crew member of the transport vessel.
