- Fire caused by short circuit currents usually occur on the space the wheel (Wheel house) and in
the engine control room, it can be quenched by using a portable extinguisher and CO2
In General firefighting system must be made up on his boat at least some systems tailored to the
types of fires that may occur. There are two type of fire fighting system i.e. as follows:
a. Sea Water Fire Fighting System
A firefighting system utilizing seawater as the media taken directly through the sea chest using a
ballast pump and also the general service pump as a fire pump. The sea water to some point
where a fire is likely to occur through the deck hydrant, both the load or on the deck of the
accommodation. The main pipeline for firefighting are installed permanently on the main deck
and the deck house. Special on its main line was installed in the main deck hydrant that is
designed with two house outlets that can be used to spout water simultaneously in all
directions. While on the deck of the house except for the wheel house was installed in a
permanent installation of the fire service in the form of water sprinkle and smoke detector are
interconnecting with sea water hydrophore as the fluid flow distributor. Constituent
components on this system is as follows:
- Sea chest, is where the incoming sea water that serves as a supply of sea water used to
douse the fire.
- The main pipeline and pipeline branches, which serve as the sea water to extinguish the
fire that spread evenly throughout the ship.
-
The Hydrant, is a source distribution of sea water is located on the main deck around the
deck space fit and accommodation with the location on the gangway, where the intensity of
the past it is quite high with TWO considerations of convenience to reached by the crew.
- Fire hoses for standard size 2.5 inches inside diameter with a length of 60 feet and is
equipped with hoses nozzle that can be used to set the type of water spray.
b. Foam Fire Fighting system
A system that leverages firefighters mixed thickness foam dry and sea water (foam) to cover the
surface of the material (isolate) a burning fire from the air and cool it, generally used in the
engine room and on the Main Deck (top of the Cargo hold).

4.2 Regulation
a. Fire Protection and Fire Extinguishing Equipment
The arrangement of machinery spaces is to be so that safe storage and handling of flammable
liquids is ensured. All space in which internal combustion engines, oil burners or fuel settling or
service tanks are located is to be easily accesible 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 space normally is not to have properties increasing the fire
potential of these rooms.
On tanker based on Table 4.1 above, the fixed fire estinguishing equipment that should be:
- Cargo area and cargo tanks = Low expansion foam, dry powder, pressure water
spraying and inert gas system.
- Cargo pump spaces = CO2, high expansion foam or pressure water spraying
system.
Tanker eqquiped with a crude oil washing system and tanker of 20 000 tdw and above carrying
flammable liquids with a flash point of 60 deg celcius or less are to be additionally equipped
with a fixed inert gas system.

c. Number of Fire Pump
Cargo ships of 500 GT and over are to be equipped with at least two, and cargo ships of less than
500 GT with at least one fire pump. On cargo ships of 500 GT and over a fixed emergency fire
pump is to be provided if an outbreak of fire in one compartment can put all the fire pumps out
of action. An emergency fire pump is also to be provided if the main fire pumps are installed in
adjacent compartment, and the division between the compartments is formed by more than one
bulkhead or deck. On cargo ships, in every machinery space containing ballast, bilge or other
water pumps, provisions is to be made for connecting at least one of these pumps to the fire
extinguishing system. Such connection ma be dispensed with where none of the pumps is
capable of the required capacity or pressure.
The minimum capacity and the number of fire pump is to be as specified in Table 4.2.3 and 4.2.4
Table 4.2.3 Number and Minimum Capacity of Fire Pumps
Where fire pumps with different capacities are installed, no pump is to supply less than 80% of
the total required capacity divided by the specified number of fire pumps. Each fire pump is to
be capable of supplying sufficient water at least two of the nozzles used on board the ship. The
capacity of a fire pump is not to be less than 25 m 3/h. The total required capacity of the fire
pumps - excluding emergency fire pumps - need not exceed 180 m 3/h on cargo ships. The
pressure head of every fire pump is to be so chosen that the requirement of Table 4.2.4 below:
Each fire pump is to have a power source independent of the ship's propulsion machinery. Fire
pumps and their power sources may not be located forward of the collision bulkhead. In cargo
ships, GL may, on request, permit exceptions to this requiremnt. Fire pumps and their sea
connections are to be located as deep as possible below the ship's light waterline.
The emergency fire pump is to be capable of delivering at least 40% of the total capacity
specified for the main fire pumps, but in any case not less than 25 m 3/h for cargo ships of 2000
GT and over. The emergency fire pump is to be of self-priming type. The emergency fire pump
must be capable of supplying water to all parts of the ship from two hydrants simultaneously at
the pressure stated in Table 4.3.
g. Fire Mains
International Shore Connection
Ships of 500 GT and over to be provided with at least one connector through which water can be
pumped from the shore into the ship's fire main. The dimensions of the shore connection flange
is to be shown in Fig. 4.1. It has to be possible to use the shore connection on either side of the
ship.
Fire mains are to be provided with drain valves or cocks. Branch pipe from the fire mains for
hawse flushing are to be capable of being shut off in the vicinity of the main fire pump(s) or
from the open deck. Other branch pipes not serving fire figthing purposes and which are used
only occasionally may be accepted if capable of being shut off from a location close to the main
fire pumps or from a location close to the main fire pumps or from the open deck. The shut off
devices are to be fitted with warning signs instructing personnel to close them after use. On
tankers, the fire main is to be fitted with isolating valves in a protected position at the poop

e. Type
Centrifugal Pump
A centrifugal pump is a rotodynamic pump that uses a rotating impeller to increase the
pressure and flow rate of a fluid. Centrifugal pumps are the most common type of pump used to
move liquids through a piping system. The fluid enters the pump impeller along a near to the
rotating axis and is accelerated are typically used for large discharge through smaller heads. The
example will be given by Figure 5.1.1 Centrifugal Pump below.
A globe valve is a type of valve used for regulating flow in pipeline, consisting a moveable
disk-type element and a stationary ring seat in a generally spherical body. Only be used for
stop valve, not use in controlling pressure or flow capacity, for very high pressure, and
according to the design of using gate will be minimized the corrotion efect. Gate Valve can
be used in two ways. In this system gate valve used in manifold in loading and unloading.

Below is the example of gate valve, shown in Figure 5.2.1 Gate Valve.
A butterfly valve is a valve which can be used for isolating or regulating flow. The closing
mechanism takes the form of a disk, which allows for quick shut off. Butterfly valve are
generally favored because they are lower in cost to other valve designs as well as being
lighter in weight, meaning less support is required. Used for stop valve only, for low
working pressure. In this system, butterfly valve used in order before the pump, and as a
connecting to another equipment to make a standby function. Below is the example of
butterfly valve, shown in Figure 5.3 Butterfly Valve.
b. Fitting
Filter
The type used : Water Filter
The sea water and fresh water systems on board ship are provided with line filters in order to
trap the solid impurities flowing in the system. Normally the sea water sides has more number
of filters incorporated in the line as compared to the fresh water system as the later is a closed
system. The different applications for water filters are:
- Sea Chest Strainer
It is fitted in the main suction line of the sea water inlet system to the ship. The filter is
casing normally fitted with marine growth preventive system. Normally a strainer is used
in the sea chest so that the flow of water in the sea line is always maintained.
- Fresh Water System Filter
All the fresh water system such as drinking water system, sanitary water system, boiler
feed water system etc. are incorporated with a line filter in the suction side of the pump.
