Fire protection
The boat is equipped with a portable 2 kg fire extinguisher class 8A 68 B, which is the
minimum power requirement for extinguishers. For the extinguisher to remain reliable, it
should be inspected annually by an authorised inspector. In the event that the fire
extinguisher is replaced, the capacity of the new one must be at least equivalent to the old.
