N = number of firing spaces.
"2N" means that two extinguishers are to be located in each firing
space.
X = sufficient number, minimum two in each space, so located that there are
at least one portable fire extinguisher within 10 m walking distance from
any point.
y = sufficient number to enable foam to be directed onto any part of the
fuel lubricating oil pressure systems, gearing and other fire hazard.

| Notes:
*1. May be located at outside of the entrance
to the room.
*2. May be arranged outside of the space
concerned for smaller spaces of cargo ships.
*3. The amount of sand is to be at least 0.1
m3.
*4. Not required for such spaces in cargo ships
wherein all boilers contained therein are for domestic services and are less
than 175kW.
*5. In case of machinery spaces containing both
boilers and internal combustion engines (case not explicitly considered in
regulation 10.5) regulation 10.5.1 and 10.5.2 apply, with the exception that
one of the foam fire-extinguishers of at least 45 l capacity
or equivalent (required by regulation 10.5.2.2.2) may be omitted on the
condition that the 135 l extinguisher (required by regulation
10.5.1.2.2) can protect efficiently and readily the area covered by 45
l extinguisher.
*6. Oil fired machinery other than boilers such
as fired inert gas generators, incinerators and waste disposal units are to
be considered the same as boilers insofar as the required number and type of
fire fighting appliances are concerned.
