Subpart D—Fire Protection
§144.400 Applicability.
§144.405 Fire hazards to be minimized.
§144.410 Separation of machinery and fuel tank spaces from accommodation spaces.
§144.415 Combustibles insulated from heated surfaces.
§144.425 Waste receptacles.

Except for §144.415, which applies to each new and existing vessel, this subpart applies to each new towing vessel.
Each vessel must be designed and constructed to minimize fire hazards insofar as reasonable and practicable.
Machinery and fuel tank spaces must be separated from accommodation spaces by bulkheads. Doors may be installed provided they are the self-closing type.
Internal combustion engine exhaust ducts, galley exhaust ducts and similar ignition sources must be insulated with noncombustible insulation if less than 450 mm (18 inches) away from combustible material. Installations in accordance with ABYC P-1 or NFPA 302 (incorporated by reference, see §136.112 of this subchapter) will be considered as meeting the requirements of this section.
Unless other means are provided to ensure that a potential waste receptacle fire would be limited to the receptacle, waste receptacles must be constructed of noncombustible materials with no openings in the sides or bottom.
Each mattress must comply with either:
(a) The Consumer Product Safety Commission Standard for Mattress Flammability (FF 4-72, Amended), 16 CFR part 1632, subpart A, and not contain polyurethane foam; or
(b) IMO Resolution A.688(17) (incorporated by reference, see §136.112 of this subchapter) in which case the mattress may contain polyurethane foam.
