Abstract

This paper describes research that eas carried-out under the EU FP7 project SAFEGUARD to develop a fire benchmark evacuation scenario for large passenger ships that could be incorporated within a modified form of the IMO evacuation analysis guidelines. The analysis has involved detailed Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) fire modelling analysis of fire scenarios, analysis of experimental data relating to fires in passenger ships and extensive evacuation simulation using two established ship based evacuation modelling tools. the aim of the fire benchmark scenario was to include the impact of the fire on the evacuating passengers without introducing the need to undertake a full fire simulation. The primary impact of the generation and spread of fire hazards considered in the benchmark analysis is the reduction in travel speeds of passengers due to smoke obscuration and a change in the evacuation procedures associated with the fire zone containing the fire. As a result of this work it is proposed that a new degraded scenario be introduced into IMO MSC Circ 1238 that requires the passengers in the identified MVZ to evacuate from the zone horizontally into the neighbouring MVZs. The proposed fire becnhmark scenario is demonstrated using a lasrge cruise ship geometry.
