SVCE-B.11.3
The Chief's fire responsibilities - fixed fire-fighting installations
SVCE-B · Additional Syllabus for <9,000 kW / <3,000 GT · SVCE-B-MGT Safety Management and the Chief's Duties
Covers the Chief Engineer's responsibilities for fixed fire-fighting installations — primarily CO₂ total-flooding but also high-fog and sprinkler systems — including system principles, pre- and post-activation actions, and ongoing maintenance duties in a small-vessel machinery space context.
Independent preparatory study aligned to the MCA Small Vessel Chief Engineer oral examination syllabuses (STCW III/3). Module A alone covers the Chief Engineer <3,000 kW / <500 GT oral; Modules A and B together cover the <9,000 kW / <3,000 GT oral. Not an MCA-approved course and confers no credit toward a Certificate of Competency.
