Abstract

The paper presents a scenario of intervention in case of fire on a ship and the operation of fire limitation / control systems, with minimal material and human resources. The efficiency of the intervention consists precisely in the mode of operation. The mode of operation efficiency involves the description of the technical characteristics of the material and human resources of the intervention, their performances, the costs of the intervention, as well as the operating times. A fire at the HERCULES ship was chosen as a case study. There are present the characteristics, capacity, class symbols and equipment of the Hercules tugboat, as well as the fire-fighting installations present on board at the time of the fire. The fire started from the engine room where they were large quantities of electrical equipment and it burned smoldering, with large emissions of smoke, toxic gases and high temperature.
