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 Clean Agent Gas Extinguishing and Fire Alarm and Detection System were installed and put into operation as part of various conversions and renovations of the ships. 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. Fire alarm and detection system monitors the engine room with smoke and heat detectors and controls the gas extinguishing system (release box, cylinder pressure monitoring and discharge pressure switch). In case of fire or the opening of the release box, the warning devices activates and ventilation flaps will close.
