🔍 Key Concepts

• Periodically unattended machinery space requirements under SOLAS and USCG regulations • Difference between engine room fire pump and emergency fire pump locations and power sources • Typical remote start locations for emergency fire pumps on cargo and passenger vessels

💭 Think About

• Think about which pump will still be available if the engine room is full of smoke or fire and cannot be entered. • Consider where emergency controls and remote starts are usually placed so that they remain accessible during a machinery space casualty. • Ask yourself which spaces are normally manned vs. which are kept clear for emergency access.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which pump (engine room fire pump vs emergency fire pump) is intended for use when the main machinery space is not accessible. • Check which vessel spaces would most likely remain safe and accessible during an engine room fire. • Confirm where remote start switches are commonly located for emergency fire pumps, especially on vessels with periodically unattended machinery spaces.
