8.3 FIRE PREVENTION AND FIRE-FIGHTING EQUIPMENT
a. This boat is equipped with a remote-controlled fuel valve cut-off system for the
supply from the fuel tank, to be used to prevent the risk of fuel losses, and a
number of handheld fire extinguishers distributed around the boat. The detailed
description of these systems is given in the second part of this manual.
b. The owner is responsible for periodic checks on the firefighting systems and on
expiry dates indicated by equipment manufacturers, and in case of use or and
exceeded expiry dates, must have fire extinguishers recharged as necessary.
c. A bucket secured by a rope must be kept in a rapidly accessible position, for use
in case of fire on deck.
d. It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that firefighting systems are rapidly
accessible when the boat is in use, and to inform all persons on board on the
position and use of firefighting equipment, on escape routes from internal cabins
and on openings provided towards the exterior.
Precautions that must be adopted by the owner.
a. Keep bilges clean and frequently check for the possible presence of fuel vapours
or gas, or for fuel leaks.
b. When components of fire prevention systems are replaced, it is compulsory to
use only original spare parts, or parts with equivalent technical qualities and
characteristics of fire resistance.
c. Curtains and other fabrics must be kept away from cooking stoves and naked
flames.
d. Do not stow inflammable materials in the engine compartment. If non-
inflammable items are stowed in the engine compartment, they must be secured
so as to prevent the risk of falling on moving parts or of obstructing free passage
or access.
e. Never:
- obstruct access to exits, skylights or hatches;
- obstruct access to safety controls, such as fuel valves, gas valves or electrical
system switches;
- obstruct access to hand-held fire extinguishers located in lockers;
- leave the boat unattended when cooking stoves or heaters are being used;
- use gas-fired lamps on board;
- modify any onboard systems (particularly electrical, fuel or gas systems) or
allow unqualified persons to make such modifications;
- fill fuel tanks or replace gas canisters when the engine is running or with
cooking stoves or heating in use;
- smoke while handling fuel or gas.
