How often should I carry out a fire patrol on my fine vessel? Is every hour often enough or should I up it to very 15minutes?

Sweet Lucy already has a sprinkler system in the heads its called deck-fittings. The smoke detector is Dearly Beloved's hypersensitive nose and the compartment is built out of non-inflammable, water impregnated wood:- so no problems here.
How can a compapny like Cunard get it so wrong?

slight correction to your otherwise full and helpful notes but until very recently, that particular compartment on jimi's boat was unused due to a strong odour which would have been detected by a much lesser proboscis than dear beloved's and would have diverted the attention of the regulatory authorities and thus rendered unnecessary such safety measures ...

What do you expect from a rubbishy modern French-built craft? What you need is a nice traditional liner with a long keel, 3 funnels, steam turbines etc etc............

You would be staggered at the amount of bs that the modern seaman has to put up with:
ISM International Safety Management System. Annual audit by a Class Society.
ISPS. A new one. International Ship and Port Security Code. New one, starts next Thursday. Annual audit by a Class Society.
NB Panama forgot all about it and is now issuing 300 new certificates a day; why might one feel that their audit process is less than perfect?

I have now banned smoking in the heads due to potentially explosive fumes. Should somebody not re-appear after 30 mins then a patrol would be despatched to find the cause of the delay. Preceeded of course by a canary.

Surely in response to an explosion one might expect immediate emergence, if not sooner. Why the delay?
