Stop ventilation and close hatches.
Use cargo space fixed fire-extinguishing system. If this not available, create
water spray using copious quantities of water.
Do not move packages that have been exposed to heat.
If practicable, remove or jettison packages which are likely to be involved in
the fire. If the packages are not directly involved in the fire, efforts should be
concentrated on preventing the fire from reaching the cargo. This is done by
keeping the packages wet by using water jets from as far away as practicable
to drive fire away. If the fire reaches the cargo, the firefighters should
withdraw to a safe area and continue to fight the fire.
Where practicable, articles having been exposed to the fire should be kept
separated from unexposed articles. They should be kept wet and monitored
from a safe distance.

Measure should be taken to prevent leaking gases from penetrating into any

otherwise accumulate in lower or non-ventilated pats of ship. Ensure that
there is no smoking or any other open fire on board unless the leak has been

in order to prevent gases drifting into occupied areas of the ship , e.g., living

Wear protective clothing suitable for f gas protection and self-contained
breathing apparatus.
Avoid all sources of ignition (e.g., naked lights, unprotected light bulbs,
electric hand tools, friction). Wear non-sparking footwear.
Even short inhalation of small quantities of gas can cause breathing
difficulties. Keep clear of evolving gases. Avoid all skin contact.
Let split liquefied gas evaporate. When in contact with cold liquefied gases,
most materials become brittle and likely to break without warning. Avoid all

Gases listed under this schedule are non-flammable. However, some gases
will support combustion though not flammable itself.
Fire may produce leakages. Most gases allocated to this schedule are
hazardous to health.
Some are corrosive. Create water spray.
Identify the source of the fire and take appropriate action.
Use copious quantities of water from as many hoses as possible.

If practicable, remove or jettison packages which are likely to be involved in

In a fire, exposed cargoes may explode or their containment may rupture.

Fight fire from a protected position from as far away as possible.
Use of copious quantities of water at once is recommended to cool down the
heat radiation of the fire and to cool down heated cargo nearby. Only as a
secondary effect, water will start or intensity burning of that material.
Do not use small quantities of water- this will react strongly.
DO NOT use water or foam; smother with dry inert powdered material or left
fire burn, if not practicable, cool nearby cargo with copious quantities of
water, although burning of cargo could intensify for a short period of time. Do
not spray small quantities of water onto fire. Use copious quantities of water
only. Use copious quantities of water only.
If the fire is not igniting nearby cargoes, let the fire burn.
Otherwise, cool the burning transport until with copious quantities of water.
Try to avoid getting water into the container.
Stop ventilation and close hatches.
The fixed gas fixed-extinguishing system should be use.
If this not available.
Do not use water onto the material in closed spaces under deck.
With open hatches, cool nearby cargo with copious of water, although the fire
