Use of inappropriate fuel to ignite and sustain bbq onboard
TIN news: The MPA Singapore has issued circular to bring to the attention of the shipping community on the importance to recognise the dangers of conducting barbecue onboard ships.
Several incidents involving make-shift barbecue pits have occurred recently onboard ships causing a fire or explosion at the site, resulting in the officers and crew receiving 2nd and 3rd degree burns. The officers and crew have had to be evacuated from the vessel and received extensive treatment ashore.
Investigation into these incidents have revealed that the persons preparing the barbecue had used a paint thinner1 [inappropriate fuel] to light up the charcoal or sustain the fire on the barbecue pit.

Shipowners and Masters are reminded that the conduct of barbecue parties, where permitted by company’s Safety Management System (SMS), should be given due consideration on the risks of fire and explosion when lighting such fires. The risks should be adequately addressed within the SMS and at no time should inappropriate fuel be used.
