2.Sketch and describe the international shore connection available on all ships.

Ships of 500 gross tonnage and upwards shall be provided with at least one international
shore connection complying with the Fire Safety Systems Code.
 Facilities shall be available enabling such a connection to be used on either side of the ship

Dimensions: Outside Dia 178 mm

Inside Dia 64 mm
Bolt Circle Dia 132mm
Slots in Flanges: 4 holes, 19 mm in dia, spaced equidistantly on a bolt circle of the
above dia, slotted to the flange periphery.Flange thickness: 14.5 mm minimum
Bolts & Nuts: 4-each of 16 mm dia, 50 mm in length, with washers.
Construction:

 International shore connection shall be of steel or other equivalent material.

 Shall be designed for 1 N/mm2 services.
 The flange shall have a flat surface on one side. and on
 The other side shall be permanently attached to a coupling that will fit to the ship’s
hydrant and hose.
 The ISC shall be kept onboard together with a gasket of any suitable material
suitable for 1N/mm2 services, together with bolts, nuts and 8 washers.
 Sketch and describe a portable fire extinguisher used today, including its operation,
performance and maintenance.

Carbon dioxide extinguishers are mainly used for class B or class C fires. They are not used for
accommodation areas and confined spaces because the gas used in lethal. These extinguishers are
mainly found in machinery spaces.
Carbon dioxide is stored in liquid form under pressure. A central tube acts as an outlet for the
carbon dioxide gas. A plunger attached to a bursting disc at one end and a trigger at the other is used
to release the carbon dioxide gas. The liquid changes to gas as it comes out of the extinguisher
through a hose
The response time of the 15ppm bilge alarm, that is the time which elapses
between an alterations in the sample being supplied to the 15 ppm bilge alarm
and the ppm display showing the correct response, should not exceed 5s.

Safety precaution to be taken before bunkering:

every year bunker line to be Pressure tested 1.5 times of working pressure.

Bunker tank high , overfill alarm to be tested & to be recorded in the ORB.

Before bunkering:
The crew must be briefed about the process and the safety procedures before
bunkering.(prior to 48hrs)
The crew should be sufficient amount of rest(24 hours before bunkering)
Bunkering check list to be filled up
The bunkering authority should be notified about the place and time of
bunkering
All scuppers should be plugged
The bunker checklist should be filled up
Good communication should be checked between the crew and bunkering
authority
Items from SOPEP locker be kept ready.
All bunker tanks to be checked and quantity to be calculated and recorded
All tank vent pipes should be clear. Trip trays to be plugged
Bunkering flag (Bravo) to be hoisted and at night red light to be switched on.
Over fill , high level alarm to be tested and recorded.
Sampling bottles, labels to be kept ready.

 In case of oil spill the responsible crew must tell the barge to stop
operation.(manual signal, communication by walky talky or remote stop)
 Communication with ships staff for pollution, emergency alarm to be
activated.
 Everyone go to muster station emergency pollution plan to be activated
 Follow the duty as per the plan & oil should not pollute the sea.
 Inform port authority, port state control & company.
 Emergency plan, contingency preparedness to be activated.
SOPEP equipment to be used.
In case of any pressure in the line pressure to be removed.
 Oil booms must be put around the vessel for preventing further spreading
of oil into water.
 Oil spill dispersant or hand pumps / wilden pumps may be used for the
removal of oil.

Fire precaution to be taken.

After controls, safety meeting to be held & analyse the causes, should not be
repeated.

Bunkering Samples

4 bunker samples should be taken during bunkering.

They are distributed as

1. MARPOL SAMPLE
2. SUPPLIER SAMPLE
3. SHIP SAMPLE
4. SAMPLE FOR ANALYSIS

IF the Bunkering is done in Singapore, 5 samples to be taken. Extra one for

the surveyor .

All the samples should be sealed & seal number to be entered in

BDN (bunker
1. What is a Combination sensor or multi - detector?
It isa device that either responds to more than one of the fire phenomena or employs more than
one operating principle to sense one of these phenomena. Typical examples are a combination of
a heat detector with a smoke detector or a combination of rate-of-rise and fixed temperature
heat detector, in which the signal(s) of the smoke sensor(s) is combined with the signal(s) of the
heat sensor(s)
They are designed as point type resettable multisensory fire detectors.
 2. Discuss the characteristics of Combination detectors.
Combination detectors contain more than one element which responds to fire.
These detectors may be designed to respond
a) from either element, or
b) from the combined (partial or complete) response of both elements.
An example of the former is a heat detector that operates on both the rate-of-raise and fixed-
temperature principles. Its advantage is that the rate-of-rise element will respond quickly to
rapidly developing fire, while the fixed-temperature element will respond to a slowly developing
fire when the detecting element reaches its set point temperature.
The most common combination detector uses a vented air chamber and a flexible diaphragm for
the rate-of-rise function, while the fixed-temperature element is usually leaf-spring restrained by
a eutectic metal. When the fixed-temperature element reaches its designated operating
temperature, the eutectic metal fuses and releases the spring, which closes the contact.(Fig 6.8A,
6.8B).

The main advantage of the combined detector is the added protection: The fixed-temperature
device responds to a slowly building fire that may not activate the rate-of-rise device. In addition,
one combined detector could protect a space that might otherwise require both the fixed-
temperatureand rate-of-rise types. The rate-of-rise device in the detector resets itself, but the
fixed-temperature, fusible metal part does not. Thus, the only disadvantage is that the entire
device must be replaced if the fixed-temperature part is activated. Some combination detectors
utilize a bi-metallic strip as the fixed temperature device, so that replacement is not necessary.
