What is speciallity of tanker lifeboats?
Tankers
are required to carry fireproof lifeboats, tested to survive a flaming oil or
petroleum product spill from the tanker. Fire protection of such boats is
provided by insulation and sprinkler system, which has pipe system on top,
through which water is pumped and sprayed to cool the surface. This system,
while prone to engine failure, allows fireproof lifeboats to be built of
fiberglass and not only metal. The boat should be fully enclosed type.
