Subject(s): Online resources: Abstract: Projektets långsiktiga målsättning är att brandsäkerheten på fartyg med ro-ro däck höjs, utan att fartygets stabilitet äventyras.Abstract: The aim of this project is to: 1)Evaluate modern water-based suppression technology in order to replace the design criteria given in IMO Resolution A.123(V), dated 1967, 2)develop an improved conceptual drainage design of ro-ro decks in order to prevent the accumulation of water on the deck, including sizing of pumping and lay out of scuppers, and, 3)present the outcome of the project to the Working Group under the Fire-Protection Sub Committee of the International Maritime Organization, that has the objective of revising the Fire Safety Systems Code, and formulate recommendations to replace IMO Resolution A.123(V). The long-term objective of the project is to improve the fire safety level on ships with ro-ro decks, without endangering its stability.
