Releasing of CO2 at sea:
We must consider CO2 is only released when fire is out of control but Before releasing we must go through points mentioned below
- Seal engine room.
- All ventilation to be closed.
- Fuels and boiler within engine room to be shut down.
- Evacuate and seal the engine room. Head count.
- Check out the amount of CO2 required to be injected as per the planned injection information (found in CO2 room and remote station).
- Open fire cabinet door causing alarm to activate.
- Operate fire handle mechanism to fire the pilot bottles, which fires the bank of bottles in the engine room. Ensure hold valves are closed.
