MCA Fire Guidelines - ?

[philmarks]

According to info here , any (commercial) vessel, unless no engine etc per first para, over 6metres in length must have a fire pump? This looks like a typo, or am I just suffering from Monday morning?

This is the code for commercial vessels on inland waterways, not much relevance to us.

Yes, I noticed that 5 mins ago, but still a bit strange -
MCA - Maritime and Coastguard Agency
6 metre - that's only 19 feet or so. So, presumably a chartered Broads sailing cruiser with engine would have to have one?

One hand fire pump OR....multi purpose extinguisher to BS5423 rated 13A/113B Less than 15m in length and less than 14 persons.
