non-compliance.

Portable and permanent notices prohibiting smoking and the use of
naked lights should be displayed conspicuously at the point of access to
the ship and at the exits from the accommodation area. Within the
accommodation area, instructions concerning smoking should be
displayed conspicuously.

4.2.3 Galley Stoves and Cooking Appliances

The use of galley stoves and other cooking appliances that employ naked
flames should be prohibited while a tanker is at a petroleum berth.

It is essential that galley personnel be instructed in the safe operation of galley
equipment. Unauthorised and inexperienced persons should not be allowed to
use such facilities.

A frequent cause of fires is the accumulation of unburnt fuel or fatty deposits
in galley ranges, within flue pipes and in the filter cowls of galley vents. Such
areas require frequent inspection to ensure that they are maintained in a clean
ึ
condition. Oil and deep fat fryers should be fitted with thermostats to cut off
the electrical power and so prevent accidental fires.
Galley staff should be trained in handling fire emergencies and appropriate
responses. Appropriate fire extinguishers and fire blankets should be readily
available.
The use of portable stoves and cooking appliances on board ship should be
controlled and, when in port, their use should be prohibited.

Cookers and other equipment heated by steam may be used at all times.

4.2.4 Engine and Boiler Rooms

4.2.4.1 Combustion Equipment

As a precaution against funnel fires and sparks, burners, tubes, uptakes,
exhaust manifolds and spark arresters should be maintained in good
working condition. If there is a funnel fire or sparks are emitted from the
funnel, the tanker should, if at sea, consider altering course as soon as
possible to avoid sparks falling on the tank deck. Any cargo, ballasting or
tank cleaning operations in progress must be stopped and all tank
openings closed.

4.2.4.2 Blowing Boiler Tubes
Boiler tubes should be soot blown prior to arrival and after departure from
a port. Boiler tubes should not be soot blown when the ship is in port. At
sea, the officer on bridge watch should be consulted prior to the operation
commencing and the vessel’s course altered if necessary.
