Abstract

The article discusses indicators and their values for the main characteristics of fire ships (FS), which have been delivered from the 1970s to the present. The data on the state of fire safety in water transport is provided, while noting the role of FS as one of mobile fire extinguishing means. The article also presents data on the basic hydraulic equipment of the FS pumps, fire monitors, as well as a stock of foaming agent and proposes the criteria to assess the FS effectiveness in terms of the relative efficiency of fire extinguishing and relative efficiency of fire extinguishing taking into account the speed of arrival to the place of fire-rescue operations, presenting the values of these criteria for various FS projects and providing the rating of such projects. In conclusion, the main directions for creating a high-efficiency FS are outlined.

Keywords: fire ship, fire pump, fire turntable monitor, displacement, efficiency.
