Your vessel is traveling on an international voyage. Regarding the assistance of shore side fire fighters to combat a vessel fire while in port, what document, if any, is required, and where would it be located?

Correct Answer: Option A — Fire Control Plan; permanently stored in a prominently marked weather tight enclosure outside the deck house.

International safety conventions mandate that a duplicate set of fire control plans be permanently stored in a prominently marked, weather-tight enclosure outside the deckhouse for shore-side fire-fighting assistance.
