This paper contains an interpretation of the measures to prevent fire in ship engine rooms, which have been developed by the International Marine Organization as the Guidelines MSC.1/Circ 1321. Attention is drawn to the risk control measures in the design, construction, testing, installation and inspection of systems containing flammable oils. The measures to prevent fire in flammable oils were verified using theoretical technique i.e. the formal fire risk assessment (FFRA). The FFRA is based on the probabilistic model for fire frequency calculations. The model has been described and results of trial application of the FFRA has been presented. It can be said the effectiveness of risk control measures can be examined quantitatively by applying the analytical technique. However, making generic model for detailed examination with adequate accuracy poses number of challenges, the most significant being lack of adequate statistic data on past fire accidents and consideration of the human factor.
