Sprinkler Systems on Cargo ship question.
This summer while sailing on the St. Lawrence I was passed by a bulk
carrier. The deck hatches were closed, as one would expect, however the
deck was being sprayed by a sprinkler system from bow to aft superstructure.
Since then I have noticed several similar vessels, also with deck
sprinklers running full tilt.
What is the purpose of this?
Cheers
Martin
