Time and again, accidents and hazardous situations occur on seagoing vessels at berths and in areas close to ports. These range from accidents at work on board to the leakage of hazardous substances to rapidly spreading fires. Shore-based fire brigades can also be deployed to combat such incidents. Compared to their daily work, however, deployment on a ship is a relatively rare event for firefighters, who often lack routine experience of the special features on board.

This book describes the ship-specific features that may be encountered by shore-based firefighters during an emergency situation on board seagoing vessels.
