Fire prevention.

        Cleanliness, vigilance and common sense are the principal weapons with which one can prevent fire. Tank tops should be kept clean and well lighted, it is recommended that tank tops be painted white so that any oil leakages from drip trays, pipes, joints, filters and valves may be easily spotted and the leakage dealt with promptly before any dangerous accumulation of oil arises.Bilges must be kept clean and the pumps and strainers for the bilges maintained in good working order.

        All fire fighting appliances must be kept in good working order and tested regularly. Emergency pump and fan stops, collapsible bridge oil valves, watertight doors, etc., should all be tested frequently and kept in good operative order. All fire detection devices should be regularly tested and any faults rectified.

        All engine room personnel should be fully conversant with the recognized procedure for dealing with a fire aboard ship and should know the whereabouts and method of operating of all fire fighting equipment.

       When coal is carried, as cargo, the compartment or compartments where it is situated should be well ventilated and the coal should, as far as possible, be stacked in such a way so that it presents as large a surface area as possible to the atmosphere. This will reduce risk of an outbreak of fire due to spontaneous combustion of the coal. Personnel should be thoroughly familiar with the problems associated with any special cargo the vessel may be carrying, e.g. LPG, LNG and chemical carriers.

 

Machinery space arrangement

       The arrangement of machinery spaces is to be so that safe storage and handling of flammable liquids is ensured.

       All spaces in which internal combustion engines, oil burners or fuel settling or service tanks are located is to be easily accessible and sufficiently ventilated.

       Where leakage of flammable  liquids may  occur during operation or routine maintenance work, special precautions are to be taken to prevent these liquids from coming into contact with sources of ignition.

       Materials used in machinery spaces normally is not to have properties increasing the fire potential of these rooms.

       Materials used as flooring, bulkhead lining, ceiling or deck in control rooms, machinery spaces or rooms with oil tanks are to be non-combustible. Where there is a danger that oil may penetrate insulating materials, these are to be protected against the penetration of oil or oil vapours.

       To ensure the application of current installation and construction standards and to safeguard the observance of precautions for preventing the occurrence of fires during assembly, inspection and maintenance works, reference is made to the guidelines for measures to prevent fires in engine rooms and cargo pump rooms as set out in MSC.1/Circ.1321.

 

Insulation of piping and equipment with high surface temperatures

       All parts with surface temperatures above 220 °C, e.g. steam, thermal oil and exhaust gas lines, exhaust gas boilers and silencers, turbochargers, etc., are to be effectively insulated with non-combustible materials. The insulation is to be such that oil or fuel cannot penetrate into the insulating material. Metal cladding or hard jacketing of the insulation is considered to afford effective protection against such penetration.

       Boilers are to be provided with non-combustible insulation which is to be clad with steel sheet or the equivalent.

       Insulation is to be such that it will not crack or deteriorate when subject to vibration.

Fire prevention measures.

Fire prevention measures of ships are provided by its constructive, organisational and technical aspects and also by adequate actions of the crew in their fight with fire. It is noted that considerable per cent of fire accidents is connected with the explosion and ignition of light type fuel. Explosions of hydraulic systems, short circuits, defects in electrical equipment have also high frequency. Usually fire in the engine-room is the result of lubricants ignition in the bearings of the main and auxiliary mechanisms.

The other type of "thermal" accidents takes place because of the open fire that is because of sparks during welding process. But we mustn't forget about negligence of the crew or ship builder's shortcomings. It is necessary to observe requirements on storage of dangerous materials. Holds should be dry and clean with appropriate ventilation. Paints must have low thermal conductivity with the aim to lessen the spreading speed of fire.

          Inflammable materials must have inscription and marking, be checked periodically on validity and expiration date, leakage, tightness of cover and so on. It is compulsory for every ship to have highly efficient fire extinguishing systems and also individual breathing apparatus, means for hands protection, in a world everything that is necessary to save life of every man at sea.
