Imo Fire Protection Pilot
Imo Fire Protection Pilot
General Background
Maritime legislation covers technical and increasingly operational ship safety standards as well as
environmental and quality issues. All of these are subject to permanent review and almost
continuous amendment.
Particularly IMO as the major international body for the development of maritime regulations, but
also institutions like the EU or flag State Authorities, are constantly issuing a stream of new, altered
or revised mandatory requirements.
Within this context Germanischer Lloyd assumes the role of mediator between its clients and the
regulatory authorities, providing consultation in technical matters and up-to-date regulatory guidance
and information.
Germanischer Lloyd has published the IMO Fire Protection Pilot as an easy reference to help
shipyards, shipowners, Administrations and other interested parties to identify new regulations at as
early a stage as possible and without delay. Early knowledge of new requirements is vital, as it
enables planning and implementation in due course, thus avoiding problems and saving costs.
Feedback, positive as well as negative, concerning the experience gained with the use of this
brochure will be much appreciated and, together with your suggestions, constitutes a source of
constant improvement.
Limitations
The IMO Fire Protection Pilot has been developed by Germanischer Lloyd with the aim of providing
regulatory news in the most current state possible.
However, flag State requirements have not yet been included in the IMO Fire Protection Pilot as
listing them with all their details would go beyond the scope of this brochure and would extend
beyond the capabilities of this medium as quick reference tool.
Disclaimer
These guidelines have been prepared using the best information currently available. They are
intended purely as guidance; their use is at the users own risk. No responsibility is accepted by
Germanischer Lloyd for any consequences whatsoever resulting directly or indirectly from the use of

The actual requirements for EEBDs are laid down in the following documents:
a) SOLAS 74 including amendments 2000 (IMO Res. MSC.99(73), Reg. II-2/13.3.4 and 13.4.3;
b) International Code for Fire Safety Systems (IMO Res. MSC.98(73), Chapter 3, Para. 2.2;
c) MSC/Circ. 849 – Guidelines for the performance, location, use and care of emergency escape
breathing devices (EEBDs).
Application:
All passenger ships and all cargo ships (³ 500 GT) shall be provided with EEBDs as follows:
newbuildings – on all newbuildings with keel laying date on or after 01.07.2002,
existing ships – on all existing ships not later than the date of the first survey* after 1July
2002.
Approval:
EEBDs shall be of approved type according to the requirements of the Code for Fire Safety Systems
[b)].
On ships for which GL is authorised to issue the CSSEC, GL approval is required. On other ships
approval by the relevant flagstate, or acceptance of an approval by this Administration, is required.
According to the next (3rd) amendments to the Directive, which will be most probably come into force
on 1st July 2002, EEBDs will be included in the Annex A.1 to the EC Marine Equipment Directive.
Therefore, approval according to the Directive will be required.
Number:
Cargo Ships:
- accommodation area 2 [a) Reg. II-2/13, 3.4.2];
- machinery spaces at least 2 (acc. to room arrangement and
number of persons normally working there,
see Safe Manning Certificate) [a) Reg. II-2/13,4.3.1];
- spare units 1 [a) Reg. II-2/13, 3.4.1];
- training units 1, which is clearly marked [ c) Para. 6].
Passenger Ships:
- accommodation area 2 in each main vertical zone [a) Reg. II-2/13, 3.4.3];
(more than 36 passengers) + 2 add. in each main vertical zone [a) Reg. II-2/13, 3.4.4];
- machinery spaces at least 2 (acc. to room arrangement and
number of persons normally working there,
see Safe Manning Certificate) [a) Reg. II-2/13,4.3.1];
- spare units 2 [a) Reg. II-2/13, 3.4.1];
- training units 1, which is clearly marked [ c) Para. 6].
The indicated numbers must be increased acc. to additional national requirements if any or if required by the arrangement
on board.

Gerichtsstand und Erfüllungsort ist Hamburg. Es gelten die Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen des Germanischen Lloyd in ihrer jeweils neuesten Fassung.
Es gilt deutsches Recht.
Place of performance and jurisdiction is Hamburg. The latest edition of the General Terms and Conditions of Germanischer Lloyd is applicable.
German law applies.
Arrangement:
Unless personnel are individually carrying EEBDs, consideration should be given for placing such
devices along the escape routes within the machinery spaces or at the foot of each escape ladder
within the spaces. In addition, control spaces, workshops and similar working places located within
the machinery spaces should also be considered for the possible location of such devices [c) para.
4.6].
Recommended places for storage of EEBDs within the accommodation area are the bridge, the
mess rooms and the galley, either within these spaces or near those spaces within means of
escape.
The number and location of these devices shall be indicated in the fire control plan [a) Reg. II-
2/13,4.3.2]. The revision shall be endorsed by the attending GL surveyor.
recommended symbol (colour green) for indication on board and in the fire control plan:
The provided EEBDs have to be indicated also in the Record of approved Cargo Ship Safety
Equipment (Form F410).
GL approved types:
*) first survey: - Passenger ships, the first initial or renewal survey for the issue of the PSSC;
- Cargo ships, the first initial, annual, periodical or renewal survey for the issue of the CSSEC;
or any occasional survey which implies the confirmation of validity of the a.m. certificates.
