8.1.4.1 Types of Portable Fire Extinguisher
Combustibleน---
In addition to fire hose reels for water extinguishing of Class A type fires
involving combustible materials, such as wood, paper and fabrics, all
tankers are provided with a range of portable fire extinguishers. Table 8.1
provides an overview of the types of extinguisher likely to be found on
board a tanker and their uses. Class D type fires are included mainly for
completeness. (See Section 5.2 for information on the Classification of
Fires.)

8.2 Gas Testing Equipment

This Section provides operational guidance on the use of the gas measuring
instruments described in Section 2.4.

The safe management of operations on board tankers is often dependent upon
the crew’s ability to determine the composition of the ambient atmosphere or
the atmosphere in an enclosed space.

Tanker crews need to measure the oxygen, hydrocarbon and toxic gas
concentrations in an atmosphere. This will enable them to detect the presence
of any explosive mixtures, toxic vapours or oxygen deficiency that may present
a risk of explosion or hazard to personnel.

On tankers fitted with an inert gas system, there is the additional need to
measure the oxygen content of inert gas as part of the safe management of
cargo tank atmospheres.
