Q

How many approved B-II fire extinguishers must be carried in the machinery space of a 3000 HP vessel?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR fire protection requirements for machinery spaces on motor vessels • Table that links total brake horsepower (BHP) to the number/size of required B-II extinguishers • Effect of having (or not having) a fixed fire-extinguishing system in the machinery space

💭 Think About

• Identify which horsepower range a 3000 HP machinery space falls into on the CFR table and see how many B-II extinguishers that row requires • Decide whether the question is assuming a machinery space without a fixed fire system (common exam assumption unless stated otherwise) • Compare the number of required extinguishers for that HP range and type (B-II) to the multiple‑choice options given

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the exact horsepower bracket in the CFR table that covers 3000 HP • Confirm whether the table specifies portable B-II extinguishers in addition to any fixed system, or only when no fixed system is installed • Make sure you are reading the machinery space requirement row, not the accommodation or open‑deck extinguisher requirements
