Wood burner surround... on a boat

Hi.

I bought a steel hull narrowboat a little while ago, on which the previous owner had installed a lovely little wood burning (technically multi-fuel actually) stove, with aesthetically appropriate black tiles underneath and on the surrounding walls. Lovely. But after a couple of times firing it up, tiles starting jumping off the walls, revealing fairly alarmingly flammable-looking plywood.

So, time to start again.

This is a tiling forum, so don't want to go too far into flammable materials etc - suffice to say, I will be replacing the ply with 6mm fire resistant masterboard. Raising the question - considering that this boats vibrate when the engine is on, get as cold as outside when left alone for a day, and these tiles will be next to a fire, mounted on masterboard....

What adhesive to use?

Huge thanks in advance,

Mark
 
i believe its fire board always had good results tiling on it with a flexible cement based adhesive holds a lot of weight to so i was told years ago
