19.5 Fire-Fighting Equipment
locally available within the first 5 minutes of the outbreak of a fire.ั้น---
Fire-fighting systems are required to protect potentially exposed equipment in order
to avoid fire escalation and to minimise fire damage. Ideally, most fires should be
controlled and extinguished by first isolating the source of the fuel and, if necessary

and feasible, by extinguishing the fire with appropriate agents.

Where marine terminals have land connections with refineries or related installations,
the fire-fighting system on the terminal is usually an integral part of the fire-fighting
scheme for the whole of the complex.

Fixed fire-fighting systems should be capable of full operation by the personnel

19.5.1 Terminal Fire-Fighting Equipment ่าน
In ports with many terminals or in congested industrial locations, the local
authority or port authority may provide the main fire-fighting capability.
The type and quantity of fire-fighting equipment should be related to the
terminal size and location, the frequency of terminal use, and the
additional factors identified in Section 19.1. Other relevant factors include
the existence of reciprocal arrangements and the physical layout of the
terminal.
ึ
Because of these many variables, it is impractical to make specific
recommendations concerning fire-fighting equipment. Each terminal
should be studied individually when deciding upon the type, location and
use of the equipment.

In addition to national regulatory requirements, capability should be based
on the general guidance contained within this Chapter and the outputs of
a formal risk assessment. The risk assessment should take into account
the following criteria for each berth:

The sizes of ships that can be accommodated on the berth.
Location of the terminal and the berth.

Nature of the cargoes handled.
Potential impact of oil spillage.
งานห้อ Portable and Wheeled Fire Extinguishers and Monitors
Areas to be protected.
Regional fire response capability.
Level of training and experience of local emergency response
organisations.

19.5.2

Portable and wheeled fire extinguishers should be provided at every
marine terminal berth on a scale relative to the size, location and
frequency of use of the berth (see Table 19.1).

Portable fire extinguishers should be located so that a fire extinguisher
can be reached without travelling more than 15 metres. Wheeled
extinguishers should normally be located in accessible positions at each
end of loading arm gantries or at the berth approach access point.
