Ship’s equipment, installations and fire protection arrangements are more extensive and highly regulated than ever before. The fundamental knowledge needed by ship’s personnel has increased accordingly.

In a clear and understandable manner, it covers the fundamental aspects of: fire and explosions; combustions processes; fire extinguishing media, appliances and equipment; machinery and cargo spaces; structural fire protection; fire detection; and ships under repair, from both practical and regulatory aspects.
