This tackles the specific area of engine and pump room fires. Though engine room fires are rare, their impact can be devastating - often leading to the total loss of the vessel. By their very nature, machinery spaces contain a potentially explosive cocktail of air, fuel and heat. This package catalogues the hazards and describes simple measures that will keep a ship safe.

The five modules that make up "Fire Fighting at Sea" form a substantial and comprehensive training package. As such, they are expected to be an essential part of the on board training requirements for all vessels. Many marine fire specialists have contributed their expertise to the making of this series as well as industry representatives from several shipping companies.
