Fta on Ship Firefighting Plant

Abstract

"One of the main causes of accidents on board ships is fire. This is because of the presence of high temperature, the excess quantity of flammable oil and other combustible materials. A ship is fitted with various types of fire retardant and firefighting equipment so as to fight any kind of fire and extinguish it as soon as possible before it turns into a major catastrophic situation. Purpose: This paper presents the crisis management on ship’s firefighting plant, Technical data for firefighting plant with foam, Fault Tree Analysis data, Fault tree block diagram, Failure probability and basic events of fault tree, The equations of fire analysis, The method of simulation, The simulation of a fire incident in the firefighting plant, for a ship named ""Mamola Defender"" which is a vessel that provides the supply of marine drilling platforms. The results are: Foam firefighting plant diagram, Locations for firefighting systems, Fire Control and Safety Plans, Fault tree block diagram, The values of probabilities, The relationship between input and output events. The results of simulation for a scenario are: radiant heat distribution of a jet fire, the heat flux, the temperature distribution on different stage of fire, the flame propagations. Conclusions: The methods which used for simulation present a possible fire incident in a plant with many hazardous materials. This method of simulation is useful to assistance plant owners and operators in different events of emergency situations. This methodology is useful to prevent human casualties and important structures."
