Subject: re-launch ToR RecCom WG 169 on “Fire System Detection and Controls in Marinas”.
Dear Madam,
Dear Sir,
RecCom is pursuing the completion of the WG 169 report on “Fire Systems Detection and Controls in Marinas” and is
seeking additional members to complete the task.
The WG topic is of great interest to PIANC’s Sisters association ICOMIA and the previous members have made significant
progress, but additional effort is required to complete an adequate report. While RecCom has identified members that will
continue participating in the WG, the Commission has asked for a new call to expand the WG membership.
May we ask you to inform the secretariat of RecCom by 8 February 2018 (copy to the General Secretariat) about the
name, qualification and (e-mail-) address of the expert, proposed by your country/organisation. Please enclose a brief
curriculum vitae of the proposed expert together with some details about his/her professional experiences.
An additional expert per country/organisation, being a young professional, can participate in the Working Group
activities. Further I would like to remind you that Working Group Members should either be Individual Member of PIANC,
working for a Corporate Member or Platinum Partner, be an invited expert or a be a member of a Sister Organisation.
We remind you that in accordance with PIANC rules, the costs incurred in taking part in Working Group activities are
borne by the member countries/organizations.
We thank you beforehand for your collaboration.
Yours sincerely,
Geert Van Cappellen,
Secretary-General

FIRE SYSTEM DETECTION AND CONTROLS IN MARINAS
TERMS OF REFERENCE
1. Historical background - Definition of the problem
Yachting has grown exponentially in numbers, sizes and technical
developments from the end of the Second World War onwards.
Even when most yachts were built in wood (few in steel) until then, the absence
of electrical circuits and the use of food warming devices only when users were
onboard helped a very low rate of fire accidents.
In most cases, fires at marinas start on a yacht, and such incident is the worst
nightmare of the marina operator.
The layout of most marinas, especially those in tidal areas, makes difficult the
arrival of fire engines close to the fire.
With the exception of the metal hulls, boats are built with high flammable
materials and have also fuel and lubricants on board, which increase the
burning and explosion potential.
The wind and the usual very close proximity of the boats are the main factors
for the fire expansion from a boat to another.
Until today, personnel training and periodic fire drills are not compulsory in
marinas.
A very low frequency of fire accidents in marinas worldwide keep the subject
of fire prevention and firefighting training as a non-prioritary subject.
The complexity of electrical systems on a modern yacht increases the possibility
of an electric fire, especially when the yacht is not used and connected to
shore electricity (battery charger, ventilation, air conditioning).
Most marinas do not have a seriously designed fire fighting system, the
appropriated elements to act in case of need, the trained personnel to use
them, and a fire response plan.
2. Objectives
To learn the causes of marina fires, the way of detecting them, dealing with the
fire, and establish marina planning and design criteria and procedures that
would increase the possibility of safe and quick fire extinction and minimization
of losses.
3. Earlier reports to be reviewed
Planning of fishing ports PTC2 report of WG 18 – 1998
Guidance on facility and management specification for marine yacht
harbours and inland waterway marinas with respect to user requirements.
Report of WG 05 of the commission for SPN - 1991
Dry berthing of pleasure boats either for maintenance or complementary to
wet berthing - both the technical and financial aspects. Third international
commission for sport and pleasure navigation – 1980
Standards for the construction, equipment and operation of yacht harbours
and marinas, with special reference to the environment International
commission for sport and pleasure navigation – 1979
Follow a list of references.
4. Scope
Matters that will be investigated are: causes of the fire, personal injuries,
material losses, meteorological conditions that can affect fires, accessibility to
the areas interested, local firefighting logistics, external firefighting logistics,
actions by marina personnel, actions by external help (Fire brigade, auxiliary
boats), coordination.
After that the method approach should be:
o Create a matrix of main variables on historical fires.
o Analyse matrix to detect repetition patterns.
o Study available literature on fire detection, prevention and control.
o Interview available operators with experience in marina fires.
o Interview fire brigade operators in harbors with marina facilities.
o Propose the final draft of a code of practice.
Some case-studies will be considered and between these:
• Por Vell, Barcelona, February 2008
• Marina Botafoch, Ibiza, December 2005
• Bellingham Marina, WA March 2013
• Edmonds Marina, Seattle WA, February 1990
• Autoprotection & Fire plan, Moll Vell, Mallorca 2011
5. Intended product
The Working Group will prepare a code of best practice for marina planning
and design under the firefighting point of view, implementation of installations,
procedures and training regarding fire prevention, detection and control when
operating a marina.
6. Working Group Membership
Fire-fighting experts in any role involved. Marina managers/directors. Marina
designers. Boats designers and constructors. Emergency response training
experts. Fire-fighting systems designers and operators. Safety technicians
(procedures/assessment). Firemen.
7. Relevance to countries in transition
The code of practice can be very useful for the growing marina market in
countries in transition with the aim of contrasting substandard and unsafe
practices for the final users. The report should stipulate the basic issues and at
the same time be simple enough to be easily adapted and give advice to the
local legislations.
8. Climate Change
As result of the preliminary approach for preparing the TOR, it seems
reasonable to consider that climate change does not affect this topic.
