According to the Authority, a vessel recently suffered an engine room fire involving the No. 2 diesel generator, which caught fire when fuel sprayed from a high-pressure pump onto the exhaust. Once the crew were out of the engine room and accounted for, the shore side fire team along with the ship’s Master and Chief Engineer decided it was safe to activate the fixed CO2 fire-extinguishing system. The system was operated and the fire was successfully extinguished.
