By applying this enhanced standard, containership owners and operators can help mitigate the fire safety risk. The optional criteria builds on the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations leading to better preparation for potential incidents that threaten the safety of the ship, crew and cargo.
As container vessels are designed larger and stack heights continue to rise, fire safety on container vessels continues to be a risk. To address this risk, ABS has published the Guide for Fire-Fighting Systems for Cargo Areas of Container Carriers. Addressing the risk of fire on container carriers.
Fire safety has become a major concern in the container shipping industry, in particular, with vessels of 20,000-TEU and more entering the market. A fire in just one container can have catastrophic implications for the whole of the cargo. The very nature of container shipping means that the cargoes are in general finished goods of high value.
The Fire-fighting On-deck Container (FOC) notation provides a comprehensive approach to assessing the firefighting system pressure and capacity, and recognizes enhanced container deck firefighting capability beyond what is required by the IMO.
The Container Carrier House/ Structures (CCH) notation has requirements for water cooling, air monitoring and other arrangements intended to protect crew within the accommodations, service spaces, machinery spaces and other normally manned locations from the heat as well as smoke that may be created during a cargo fire.
The Fire-protection Below-deck Container (FBC) notation recognizes the installation of fire protection arrangements and capabilities within the container holds of container carriers beyond those required by IMO.
