🔍 Key Concepts

• Fire Control Plan location and purpose on board a vessel • How shipboard firefighting efforts are coordinated with shoreside firefighters in port • Difference between emergency plans: SOPEP, SOLAS documentation, and fire plans

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which document or plan is specifically designed to show firefighting equipment, boundaries, and tactics for an actual fire on board? • Consider what information shore-based firefighters will need when they come aboard: where are hydrants, extinguishers, boundaries, access points, and escape routes shown? • Think about which listed options describe a realistic emergency response: would you normally stop fighting a fire that is already being attacked effectively?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which listed document is required to be posted on board and at the gangway to assist firefighters. • Verify which plan (SOPEP vs. Fire Control Plan) is focused on oil pollution versus firefighting arrangements. • Confirm that the correct choice involves continuing onboard firefighting efforts while also coordinating with arriving shoreside teams.
