Artikel 101

(1) (a) Spaces containing oil-fired boilers, fuel oil units or internal combustion machinery having a total power output of not less than 375 kilowatts shall be provided with one of the following fixed fire-extinguishing systems, to the satisfaction of the Administration: (i) a pressure water-spraying installation;
(ii) a fire-smothering gas installation;
(iii) a fire-extinguishing installation using vapours from low toxicity vapourising liquids, e.g. bromochlorodifluoromethane (BCF) or bromotrifluoromethane (BTM); or
(iv) a fire-extinguishing installation using high expansion foam.
(i) a pressure water-spraying installation;
(ii) a fire-smothering gas installation;
(iii) a fire-extinguishing installation using vapours from low toxicity vapourising liquids, e.g. bromochlorodifluoromethane (BCF) or bromotrifluoromethane (BTM); or
(iv) a fire-extinguishing installation using high expansion foam.
(b) Where the engine and boiler rooms are not entirely separated from each other or if fuel oil can drain from the boiler room into the engine room, the combined engine and boiler rooms shall be considered as one compartment.

(2) Installations listed in paragraph (1)(a) shall be controlled from readily accessible positions outside such spaces not likely to be cut off by a fire in the protected space. Arrangements shall be made to ensure the supply of power and water necessary for the operation of the system in the event of fire in the protected space.
(3) Vessels which are constructed mainly or wholly of wood or fibre reinforced plastic and fitted with oil-fired boilers or internal combustion machinery which are decked in way of the machinery space with such material, shall be provided with one of the extinguishing systems referred to in paragraph (1).
(4) In all machinery spaces of Category A at least two portable extinguishers shall be provided, of a type suitable for extinguishing fires involving fuel oil. Where such spaces contain machinery which has a total power output of not less than 250 kilowatts, at least three such extinguishers shall be provided. One of the extinguishers shall be stowed near the entrance to the space.
(5) Vessels having machinery spaces not protected by a fixed fireextinguishing system shall be provided with at least a 45 litre foam extinguisher or its equivalent, suitable for fighting oil fires. Where the size of the machinery spaces makes this provision impracticable, the Administration may accept an additional number of portable fire extinguishers.
