- Fire fighting system consisting of fixed fire extinguishing systems and portable systems.

5. Firefighting equipment to fit the space / fire appliances in cargo spaces.

In most cases fit the space using the CO2 fire extinguisher system.

CO2 installation mounted on the top of the loading space, the pipe will drain the CO2 from the CO2 stored in tubes in the tube of CO2.

Bulkhead pipe will penetrate well and tipped the entire load space.

CO2 flux settings can be adjusted from the control panel located in the space around the tube of CO2.

So that outages can be effectively implemented then all the holes on hatch space should be sealed, including the vent hole.

Periodically CO2 installations should be inspected and weighed tubes.

6. Other fire equipment / other fire appliances.

Vessel equipped with other supplies to support fire department is Firemen outfit, those clothes that are used during extinction extinguisher complete with a safety lamp, life line, ax, helmet, shirt, pants, shoes and fireproof gloves.
