What is Objective of Fire Safety on ships?

The fire safety objectives  are to:

• prevent the occurrence of fire and explosion;
• reduce the risk to life caused by fire;
• reduce the risk of damage caused by fire to the vessel, its cargo and the environment;
• contain, control and suppress fire and explosion in the compartment of origin; and
• provide adequate and readily accessible means of escape for crew.
