3.2 Other ventilation

 Apart from the air intakes to the engines, additional ventilation in the engine-room is also required to remove heat and to avoid the risk of explosion. Therefore, the presence of harmful vapours cannot be completely avoided. The presence of personnel in the engine-room during loading and gas-freeing should therefore be kept to a minimum. In the engine control room and engine workshops the same ventilation principle as in the accommodation should be applied.
