In order to conduct a thorough fire safety analysis, the analyst must mix both theory and experience. The Ship Fire Safety Engineering Methodology (SFSEM) is the theory, but in order to utilize it successfully, the analyst must have a significant knowledge of the ship being analyzed as well as experience in fire protection. The SFSEM for fire safety can be utilized to perform a comprehensive fire safety analysis of a ship design or of an existing ship. The SFSEM evaluates the probability of spaces and barriers successfully limiting a fire on a compartment-by%compartment basis. The evaluation incorporates fire growth hazard potential, automatic detection, fixed and manual suppression, and barriers. The system is structured in a manner that allows probable paths of fire propagation to be determined based on time durations. The Ship Applied Fire Engineering (SAFE) programming system automates portions of the SFSEM. It is actually an integrated series of programs requiring engineering evaluations, ship geometry, and ship features as input. SAFE enables a person to describe the layout of a ship through AutoCAD, enter data values for compartments and barriers into a database, and run a probabilistic fire model on the ship. These data values, as well as results of running the probabilistic model, can be output in text or graphic form. 17. Keywords 18.
