Q

Three factors to consider with regard to the shut down and isolation of plant and equipment

A
  1. The plant or equipment may be the source of ignition
  2. There is a risk of fire and smoke spreading to other parts of the ship
    The division of compartments is designed so that ventilation can be closed off to avoid the spread of smoke and flames
  3. In the event of an accident or incident, safety critical systems must be able to operate if there is a fire in another part of the ship
    i.e Fire main isolation valves allow for Fire Fighting if there is a fire in the ER
