FIRE PROTECTION
12.1.
FIRE-FIGHTING EQUIPMENT
Fire extinguishers are subject to national regulations and therefore your vessel is supplied
without an extinguisher. If a fire occurs in the engine compartment, you can extinguish the fire
without opening the compartment. To do this, you must remove the plug marked “Fire
Extinction Hole” under the engine compartment access hatch, place the nozzle over this
opening and operate the fire extinguisher.
The emergency exits are the companion ladder and the deck hatch in the front cabin
