.Fire is the nightmare of every seamen because it is the root cause of major accidents in ships. A ship is approved to sail in international waters only if it is constructed as per the Fire Safety System code (FFA code). It's very important that all Fire Fighting Appliances are required to be approved by the concerned authority. For easy remembrance we can categorize the fire fighting equipments into fire Extinguishers, Fire man's outfits, Critical Appliances and constructional modification.

Hello Sir, Your site is very helpful,i have a question regarding the difference between Emergency Compressor and Emergency Air Compressor under Critical Appliances. Please elaborate.
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear that you like marinesite... Emergency compressor means the compressor which has a connection from emergency switch board (emergency gen). In some ships one of the main compressors is having connection from the emergency switch board; and the same act as an emergency compressor. you may not find a separate emergency air compressor. Emergency compressors always comes under critical equipment. You must have minimum spares (critical spares)always onboard
