(Enacted 1991) Cap 369Y reg 9 Fire extinguishing appliances in other machinery spaces In every ship of Class I where a fire hazard exists in any machinery space for which no specific provisions for fire extinguishing are required by regulation 7 or 8 there shall be provided in or adjacent to that space a sufficient number of portable fire extinguishers to ensure that at least one extinguisher is not more than 10 metres walking distance from any position within that space unless equivalent means of fire extinction are provided. (Enacted 1991) Cap 369Y reg 9A Paint lockers, etc. In every ship of Class I, every paint locker and flammable liquid locker shall be protected by an approved fire-extinguishing system. (L.N. 410 of 1995) Cap 369Y reg 10 Fire patrol, detection and alarm systems (1) (a) In every ship of Class I an efficient patrol system shall be maintained so that any outbreak of fire may be promptly detected.

(L.N. 410 of 1995) (b) In every ship of Class I manually operated call points complying with the requirements of Schedule 11 shall be fitted throughout the accommodation, service and special category spaces which will enable the fire patrol to give an alarm immediately to the navigating bridge or fire control station. Such a manually operated call point shall be positioned adjacent to each exit from every special category space. (c) Each member of the fire patrol shall be trained to be familiar with the arrangements of the ship as well as the location and operation of any equipment he may be called upon to use.(2) In every ship of Class I there shall be provided in any part of the ship which is not reasonably accessible to the fire patrol and in each cargo space (other than special category spaces) containing motor vehicles with fuel in their tanks for their own propulsion a fixed fire detection and fire alarm system of an approved type complying with Schedule 11 or a sample extraction smoke detection system complying with the requirements of Schedule 12. (3) In every ship of Class I, in any machinery space where the main propulsion and associated machinery including sources of main electrical supply are provided with automatic or remote control which are under continuous manned supervision from a control room, there shall be provided a fixed fire detection and fire alarm system of an approved type complying with Schedule 11. (4) The Director may exempt any ship from the requirement in subregulation (2) to provide a fixed fire alarm and fire detection system or a sample extraction smoke detection system in any part of the ship which is not accessible to the fire patrol, if he is satisfied that to require compliance therewith would be unreasonable on account of the short duration of the voyages on which the ship is engaged. (5) Every ship of Class I shall at all times when at sea, or in port (except when out of service) be so manned and equipped as to ensure that any initial fire alarm is immediately received by a responsible member of the crew. |
