Section 7.17.3.1.2 Required capacity of water supply for fire-extinguishing

 The total required capacity of the water supply should satisfy SOLAS regulations II-2/19.3.1.2 and II-2/19.3.1.3 (if applicable), simultaneously calculated for the largest designated cargo space. The capacity requirement for SOLAS regulation II-2/19.3.1.2 should be met by the total capacity of the main fire pump(s) not including the capacity of the emergency fire pump, if fitted. If a drencher system is used to satisfy SOLAS regulation II-2/19.3.1.3, then the drencher pump should also be taken into account in this total capacity calculation.
