Present Condition of Local Fire Fighting under SOLAS 2000

Abstract

Amendment of SOLAS II-2 in 2000, which requires installing the local fire extinguishing system in Engine Room, has been in force for new buildings since July 1, 2002. In this paper, we focus the local fire extinguishing system describing interpretation of the requirements for its function and/or control and several applications actually applied, and also we suggest establishing the unified design standard.
