🔍 Key Concepts

• Fire integrity and bulkhead classes (A, B, C) as defined in 46 CFR for accommodations and service spaces • Special fire protection requirements for galleys on MODUs in 46 CFR Subchapter I-A (Mobile Offshore Drilling Units) • Which spaces are considered high fire-risk (cooking, fuel, flammables) and what bulkhead class they require

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Is a galley treated like a normal accommodation space, or like a higher-risk space in terms of fire protection on a MODU? • Consider what each bulkhead class (A, B, C) is designed to do in a fire: which one is intended to contain a fire for a longer period and prevent heat transfer? • Think about whether a galley needs just smoke/flame separation, or full structural fire protection with insulation.

✅ Before You Answer

• Look up the specific 46 CFR provisions for MODU fire protection around galleys (Subchapter I-A, especially the sections on accommodation and service spaces). • Verify the definition of Class A, B, and C bulkheads in the regulations, including required fire‑resistance time and insulation criteria. • Confirm that the galley, as a cooking space, is listed among spaces that require the highest fire-resistance boundary compared with ordinary accommodation spaces.
