Fixed fire-extinguishing systems in cargo spaces
5.—(1) In every ship of Class I of 1,000 tons or over there shall be provided a fixed gas fire-extinguishing system complying with the requirements of Schedule 4 in Merchant Shipping Notice MSN 1666 which shall be so arranged as to protect every cargo space.
(2) The Secretary of State may exempt any ship (other than a ship engaged in the carriage of dangerous goods) from the requirements of paragraph (1) if to require compliance therewith would be unreasonable on account of the short duration of the voyages on which the ship is engaged.
