Cargo Tanks Deck Area means the maximum breadth of the ship multiplied by the longitudinal
extent of the cargo tank space.Measurement referred below are taken from the drawing
No. 101-302 General Arrangement.

Breadth of the cargo tanks deck area, B1

B1 = 32,2 m

Length of the cargo tanks deck area, L1

L1 = 138,55 m

Cargo tank deck area, A1

A1 = B1 . L1
A1 = 32,2 . 138,55
A1 = 4461,3 m2

1.2 Horizontal deck area of the single tank having the largest such area, A2

Breadth of the largest single tank, B2

B2 = 14,1 m

Length of the largest single tank, L2

L2 = 14,5 m

Deck area of the largest single tank, A2

 Length of the area betwen the two furthest monitors , L3

L3 = 27,5 m

Area of the largest space covered by one monitor, A3

A3 = B3 . L3
A3 = 32,2 . 27,5
A3 = 885,5 m2

2 Foam supply rate

The rate of supply of the foam solution should not be less than the greatest of the following:

2.1 Cargo tank deck area criterion, Q1

Q1 = q1 . A1
q1 – cargo tank deck area supply rate coefficient
q1 = 2 l/m2 min as per LR Rules and Regulations of ship for the Carriage of Liquid
.
Q1 = 2 4461,3 Chemicals in Bulk, Chapter 11.3.5.1
Q1 = 8922,6 l/min

2.2 Largest single tank area criterion, Q2

Q2 = q2 . A2
q2 – largest single tank area supply rate coefficient
q2 = 20 l/m2 min as per LR Rules and Regulations of ship for the Carriage of Liquid
Q2 = 20 . 204,5 Chemicals in Bulk, Chapter 11.3.5.2
Q2 = 4090 l/min

2.3 Largest distance between two monitors criterion, Q3

Q3 = q3 . A3
q3 – largest distance between monitors supply rate coefficient
q3 = 10 l/m2 min as per LR Rules and Regulations of ship for the Carriage of Liquid
Q3 = 10 . 885,5 Chemicals in Bulk, Chapter 11.3.5.3
Q3 = 8855 l/min

Required supply rate is the largest figure of the criteria mentioned above

Q = Q1 = 8923 l/min

Required supply rate Q = 8923 l/min

3 Foam liquid amount and tank size, G, V

Sufficient foam concentrate is to be supplied to ensure at least 30 minutes of foam generation when
using the highest of the solution supply rate defined above
Duration of foam application t = 30 min
Foam liquid concentration selected 3 %

 Mixing Ratio to sea water, M

M=3%

Required supply rate Q = 8923 l/min

3.1 Foam concentrate amount, G

G=Q.t.M
G = 8923 . 30 . 3/100
G = 8030,7 l

Due to fact that fire main and foam main are common line, foam concentrate amount is increased
for consumption of 2 water jets working simultanously with one foam monitor.
Capacity for these 2 water jets is 32 m3/h and calculated in needed amount of foam concentrate
results in 480 l/min of additional foam concentrate.

GT = 8030,7 + 480 = 8510,7 l/min

Foam concentrate type is alcohol resistant fluoroprotein UNIVEX 3-3%, supplier Wilhelmsen.

3.2 Tank volume, V

V≥G
T
V ≥ 8510,7
V = 8,6 m3

4 Sizing of the monitor, QM,

4.1 Monitor capacity. QM

At least 50% of the required foam supply rate defined by cargo tank deck area criteria and largest
single tank area criteria should be delivered by each monitor.

QMmin = 0,5 . Q1 or QMmin = 0,5 . Q2 whichever is greater

QM = 0,5 . 8923 QM = 0,5 . 4090
QM = 4461,5 l/min QM = 2045 l/min

Or, the capacity of any monitor should be at least 10 l/min of foam solution per square metre of
deck area protected by that monitor, such area being entirely forward of that monitor. Such
capacity is to be not less than 1250 l/min.

QM = qM . A3
QM = 10 . 885,5
QM = 8855 l/min

4.2 Avaible pressure of the water at monitor inlet flange

p = 8 bar approx., supposing that the pressure loss from the pump discharge flange to the
farthest monitor inlet flange is 4 bar approx. for the aggregate water flow from three pumps
running simultaneously.

5 Distance between monitors, R
The distance from the monitor to the farthest extremity of the protected area forward of that monitor
shall not be more than 75% of monitor throw length in still air R0.
Foam monitor type is UFM-150M, supplier Wilhelmsen, which for inlet pressure of 8 bar and
specified capacity gives throw length of:

R0 = 80 m throw of the monitor in still air.

R = R0 . 0,75
R = 80 . 0,75
R = 60 m

Additionally, water capacity for 2 x water jets, Qh = 533 l/min (32 m3/h), is required, because fire
main and foam main are common line.

Final sea water fire pumps capacity Cf is:

Cf = Cf + 32 m3/h
Cf = 519,3 m3/h + 32 m3/h
Cf = 551,3 m3/h

Three sea water pumps are foreseen to deliver this amount of sea water, working in parallel.
Sea water pumps are:

Fire deck washing pump No.1 – capacity, 180 m3/h ; 12 bar

Fire deck washing pump No.2 – capacity, 180 m3/h ; 12 bar
General service/Foam/Bilge pump – capacity, 250 m3/h ; 12 bar
