Title 33 - Navigation and Navigable Waters
(a) Each manned deepwater port must have at least two independently driven fire pumps. Each pump must be able to simultaneously deliver two streams of water at a pitot tube pressure of at least 50 p.s.i/345 k.p.a (75 p.s.i./520 k.p.a. for a natural gas deepwater port)—measured at the two most remote nozzles. (b) Each fire pump must have: (1) A relief valve on its discharge side that is set to relieve at 25 p.s.i/173 k.p.a in excess of the pressure necessary to meet the requirement in paragraph (a) of this section; (2) A pressure gauge on its discharge side; and (3) Its own sea connection. (c) Fire pumps may only be connected to the fire-main system. (d) The fire pumps required by paragraph (a) of this section must be located in separate spaces and the arrangement of pumps, sea connections, controls, and sources of power must be such as to ensure that a fire, in any one space, will not put all of the fire pumps out of service. (e) The fire pumps must be capable of being started and stopped from outside the spaces in which they are located.
