Which of the following systems, according to Coast Guard Regulations (46 CFR) must have an emergency stop, protected with a glass enclosure, and located outside of the machinery space?
• 46 CFR requirements for remote emergency shutdowns • Purpose and placement of machinery space emergency stops • Which systems present an immediate fire or flooding hazard if they keep running
• Think about which piece of equipment, if it continues to run during a fire, could make the situation much worse very quickly • Consider why the emergency control must be outside the machinery space and protected by a glass enclosure • Ask yourself which item(s) the Coast Guard is most concerned about stopping instantly, even if the engine room is inaccessible
• Verify in 46 CFR which systems require a remote, outside-the-space emergency stop • Check which equipment is directly related to fuel supply and fire spread, versus equipment used to fight fires • Confirm whether the regulation applies to one specific system or to multiple systems together
