忘记关闭货舱内照明可导致货损，极端情况下会引发火灾
来源：北英保赔协会 @ 2018.12.19
新西兰交通事故调查委员会（NZ TAIC）近期发布其对一起货舱失火事件的调查报告。
多用途集装箱船KOKOPO CHIEF在甲板下货舱内装载捆装木材，关舱后在舱盖上装载集装箱。
几小时后，火灾探测系统向船员报警：4号货舱发生火灾。船上的固定二氧化碳灭火系统被触发，当地消防部门做出响应连同船员共同监控火情。
调查员发现，此次火灾是货舱内照明灯散发热量将照明灯附近捆装木材点燃所引发的，船员没有在完货后关闭货舱内照明。
调查报告总结道，此次火灾的处理协调得当，但报告也同时指出以下安全问题：
l 船舶经营人的安全管理体系未能充分降低由货舱内照明所引发的火灾风险，尽管船上早些时候曾发生过一起类似事故。
l 涉及火灾响应的各相关方的责任未被清晰记录，且各相关方未能了解各自应承担的责任。
l 新西兰消防和紧急培训标准未能完全涵盖船上火灾事故响应这种特殊情况。

The New Zealand Transport Accident Investigation Commission (NZ TAIC) has recently published the report of its investigation into a cargo hold fire.
The geared multi-purpose container vessel KOKOPO CHIEF loaded packaged timber under deck before closing the hatch covers and loading containers on top. Hours later, the fire detection system alerted the crew of a fire in No.4 hold. The vessel’s fixed carbon dioxide (CO2) fire-extinguishing system was activated and the local fire service responded and worked with the crew to monitor the situation.
The investigators found that the fire was caused by heat radiating from a cargo hold light that set fire to packs of timber stowed close to the lamp. The cargo hold lights had not been switched off on completion of loading.
The report concludes that the response to the fire was well co-ordinated, but identified the following safety issues:
l The operator’s safety management system had not fully mitigated the risk of fire caused by cargo hold lighting, in spite of an earlier incident involving similar circumstances
l The responsibilities of the various authorities involved in responding to the fire were not clearly documented and understood by all parties
l The Fire and Emergency New Zealand training standards did not fully cover the special considerations for responding to shipboard fires
