FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin DNV has published a guide on shuttle tankers, offering comprehensive recommendations to ensure safe, flexible, and efficient operations, including detailed fire safety guidelines. As explained, engine room fires are one of the major hazards on oil tankers. To prevent and reduce the consequences of an engine room fire, requirements related to oil systems, as well as thermographic scanning of hot surfaces on engines and other hazardous objects, ensure that the ship is delivered and operated in a safer condition than a standard ship. Independent main fire extinguishing systems and fixed gas fire extinguishing systems for the main switchboard space (if not part of the main engine room) provide additional safety beyond SOLAS requirements.
