Example of Fire Fighting Equipment Calculation for Bulk Flammable liquids as required by AS3846-2005The number of fire fighting units (Fire Pump Trailer or Thune Eureka Fire Water Pump) required is based on the ship‟sDWT (Dead Weight in tonnes of cargo, stores fuel, passengers and crew carried by the ship when loaded to hermaximum summer load (Plimsoll) line).Fire Equipment:1. If the DWT of a tanker is more than 20 000 tonnes then two Thune Eureka units will be required; or2. If the DWT of a tanker is more than 25 000 tonnes then two Fire Pump Trailers will be required.The fire fighting resources calculation dor a 50 000 DWT tanker is shown in Appendix D.Special Requirements for Class 3 Flammable liquids in BulkBulk flammable liquids are accommodated at both the Inner and Outer Harbours. The BP Oil Refinery Jetty is alsolocated in the Outer Harbour. Flammable liquids in bulk are subject to the International Safety Guide for Oil Tankers andTerminals (ISGOTT) – the ship/shore safety checklist is applicable. Section 8 of AS3846-2005 provides specificrequirements for the handling of bulk flammable liquids.Unless permitted by the port authority, a hazardous or restricted area will apply within 25 metres of any place wherebulk flammable liquids are present, or any tank or space that has previously contained bulk flammable liquids (unlesscleaned and certified gas free). Ignition sources, including mobile phones, shall not be taken inside the restricted area(exclusion zone) around the vessel.17
5.4 CLASS 4 – FLAMMABLE SOLIDS; SUBSTANCES LIABLE TO SPONTANEOUSCOMBUSTION; SUBSTANCES WHICH ON CONTACT WITH WATER EMIT FLAMMABLE GASESOverviewClass 4 substances in general are solid substances that will either burn readily in the presence of oxygen (sometimeswithout an ignition source) or will release a flammable substance when wet.Class 4 encompasses three divisions:Division 4.1 - Flammable Solids, self reactive substances and solid desensitised explosives (i.e. solid substancesthat are easily ignited and readily combustible e.g. sulphur, matches);Division 4.2 - Substances which in contact with air or water emit flammable gases (i.e. solid substances that ignitespontaneously e.g. xanthates);Division 4.3 - Dangerous when Wet (i.e. solid substances that emit a flammable gas when wet or react violently withwater e.g. calcium carbide, iron swarf).Quantity LimitsThe individual berth quantity limits at both the inner and outer harbour berths for shipments of dangerous cargoes areshown in Table 3. Note there are no limitations on the quantities of packaged flammable solids that may be handled inthe Port of Fremantle.Time LimitsThe berth time limits applicable to the handling of all packaged dangerous cargoes are summarized in Table 4.Handling RequirementsThe basic safety requirements applicable to handling of dangerous cargoes are listed in Section 4.Fire and Emergency PreparationThe minimum levels of fire-fighting equipment and trained emergency personnel required during the handling ofdangerous goods and basic objectives are outlined in Appendix C.Special Requirements for handling Division 4.1 flammable solids in BulkBulk solid dangerous cargoes are subject to the IMO Code of Safe Practice for Solid Bulk Cargoes. Section 9 ofAS3846-2005 provides some specific requirements for the handling of bulk solid cargoes. The Standard also includes aship/shore safety checklist.The handling of Class 4 flammable solids in bulk generally requires purpose built facilities and specific consideration ona case by case basis. The Kwinana Bulk Jetty has purpose built facilities for the handling of bulk sulphur. To discussthe handling of flammable solids substances in bulk please contact the Port Safety Advisor (Dangerous Goods).18
