Machinery space ventilation shall be provided with a master control operable from a position outside the machinery space.
(2) Efficient insulation shall be provided for exhaust ducts from galley ranges where the ducts pass through accommodation spaces.
(3) Fail-safe automatic closing fire dampers with manual operation from within the enclosure shall, not later than 1 October 2000, be fitted to all ventilation ducts serving both accommodation spaces and service spaces and stairway enclosures where they pierce such enclosures. (L.N. 414 of 1995)
(4) Ventilation ducts passing through a main vertical zone bulkhead without serving spaces on both sides or passing through a stairway enclosure without serving that enclosure shall, not later than 1 October 2000, be fitted with fire dampers unless the ducts are constructed and insulated to “A-60” standard and have no openings within the stairway enclosure or in the trunk on the side which is not directly served.

101. Emergency source of electrical power
(1) There shall be provided in a position above the bulkhead deck not forward of the collision bulkhead outside the machinery casings a self-contained emergency source of electrical power capable of operating simultaneously for a period of 36 hours, or for such shorter period as the Director may permit, in the case of any ship regularly engaged on voyages of short duration—
(a) the ship’s emergency bilge pump, if it is electrically operated;
(b) the ship’s watertight doors, if they are electrically operated;
(c) the ship’s emergency lights at every boat station on deck and overside, in all alleyways, stairways and exits, in the machinery space, in the control stations where radio, main navigating and central fire recording equipments are situated, and in the place where the emergency generator, if any, is situated;
(d) the ship’s navigation lights, if operated solely by electric power; and
(e) all communication equipment and signals which may be required in an emergency, if they are electrically operated from the ship’s main generating sets.
(2) The emergency source of electrical power may be either an accumulator battery capable of complying with subregulation (1) without being recharged or suffering an excessive voltage drop, or a generator driven by a compression ignition engine with an independent fuel supply and with efficient starting arrangements. The fuel provided for such engine shall have a flashpoint of not less than 43oC.
(3) The emergency source of electrical power shall be so arranged that it will operate efficiently when the ship is listed 22 1/2o and when the trim of the ship is 10o from an even keel.
(4) (a) If the emergency source of electrical power is an accumulator battery, the arrangements shall be such that the ship’s emergency lighting system will come into operation automatically in the event of the failure of the main source of power for the ship’s main lighting system.
(b) If the emergency source of electrical power is a generator, an accumulator battery shall be provided as a temporary source of electrical power, so arranged as to come into operation automatically in the event of a failure of the main or emergency source of electrical power, and of sufficient capacity—
(i) to operate the ship’s emergency lighting system continuously for 1/2 hour; and
(ii) while such lighting system is in operation, to close the ship’s watertight doors if they are electrically operated, but not necessarily to close all of such doors simultaneously.
