A Five Minute Read to Take You Around the Globe
UK – The UK P&I Club has released its latest ‘Inside Ship’ video, this one exploring the dangers of engine room fires and specifically focusing on shielding of hot surfaces in the engine room. Engine room fires account for something like 50% of such incidents aboard merchant ships and the results generally leave the vessel dead in the water.
The Club has concluded that the best way to avoid such incidents is proper shielding of the hot exhaust surfaces saying its on board risk assessments often reveal that exhaust systems are inadequately insulated. An alert engineer s critical eye to ensure perfect insulation of all exhaust pipes and other hot surfaces will make an engine room more fire-safe. The video can be viewed HERE.
