1 Fire-extinguishing media protecting the
cargo holds may be stored in a room located forward the
cargo holds, but aft of the collision bulkhead or aft its
imaginary vertical line, provided that both the local manual release
mechanism and remote control(s) for the release of the media are
fitted, and that the latter is of robust construction or so protected
as to remain operable in case of fire in the protected spaces.
The remote controls should be placed in the accommodation
area in order to facilitate their ready accessibility by the crew.
The capability to release different quantities of fire-extinguishing
media into different cargo holds so protected should be included
in the remote release arrangement.
