Since 2016, the entire fleet (RMS Kaiser Franz Josef I, MS Austria, MS Salzkammergut, MS Wolfgang Amadeus, MS Salzburg) was equipped with clean agent gas extinguishing system and fire alarm and detection system to protect its engine rooms.

The systems installed consists of an agent cylinder, extinguishing nozzles and piping system, fire alarm and detection system, alarm notification devices, smoke, and heat detectors. The gas extinguishing systems can only be activated using a cable operated manual pull station.
