CHAPTER 11

FIRE PROTECTION AND FIRE EXTINCTION

11.1 Application

1 In paragraph 11.1.1, subparagraphs .4 to .6 are replaced by the following subparagraphs:

    “.4 regulation 10.5.6 shall apply to ships of 2,000 gross tonnage and over;

     .5 the provisions of 11.3 shall apply in lieu of regulation 10.8;

     .6 the provisions of 11.2 shall apply in lieu of regulation 10.9;

     .7 regulation 4.5.10 shall apply to ships of 500 gross tonnage and over, replacing “hydrocarbon gases” by “flammable vapours” in the regulation; and

     .8 regulations 13.3.4 and 13.4.3 shall apply to ships of 500 gross tonnage and over.”

2 In paragraph 11.1, the following new paragraph 11.1.4 is added:

    “11.1.4 In lieu of the provisions of SOLAS regulation II-2/1.6.7, the requirements of regulations II-2/4.5.10.1.1 and II-2/4.5.10.1.4 shall apply and a system for continuous monitoring of the concentration of flammable vapours shall be fitted on ships of 500 gross tonnage and over which were constructed before 1 January 2009 by the date of the first scheduled dry-docking after 1 January 2009, but not later than 1 January 2012. Sampling points or detector heads should be located in suitable positions in order that potentially dangerous leakages are readily detected. When the flammable vapour concentration reaches a pre-set level which shall not be higher than 10% of the lower flammable limit, a continuous audible and visual alarm signal shall be automatically effected in the pump-room and cargo control room to alert personnel to the potential hazard. However, existing monitoring systems already fitted having a pre-set level not greater than 30% of the lower flammable limit may be accepted. Notwithstanding the above provisions, the Administration may exempt ships not engaged on international voyages from those requirements.”
