Help ensure fire protection and life safety in occupancies such as marine terminals, piers, and wharves by complying with the latest edition of NFPA 307. Buildings and structures located on marine terminal premises and terminal yard areas, as well as special-use piers and wharves that differ in design and construction from cargo handling piers, require special safety considerations based on the type and the function of the structure. NFPA 307, Standard for the Construction and Fire Protection of Marine Terminals, Piers, and Wharves offer provisions for better protecting against loss of life and property from fire and explosions in and around these structures. The standard is a vital resource for installers, contractors, designers, engineers, and facility managers involved in building or managing marine terminals, piers, and wharves. NFPA 307 covers the basic pier substructure constructive types and any combination of materials, including fire-resistive, noncombustible, combustible, and composite construction. Subject areas include: Water supply for fire protection equipment and systems Storage and handling of highly combustible or hazardous materials Mooring of vessels Repairs involving cutting, welding, or other hot work Bunkering (refueling) of vessels Fire protection systems Heating equipment Fumigation Electrical installation NFPA 307, 2021 edition, provides state-of-the-art principles for building and better protecting marine terminals, piers, and wharves from fire dangers. This vital safety standard reflects situations and techniques for cutting edge marine terminal fire protection. In response to the U.S. Coast Guard’s emphasis on the need for increased awareness of federal requirements that pertain to firefighting on commercial vessels, the 2021 edition features significant changes, including: The addition of an annex to inform municipal and industrial firefighters about marine firefighting (MFF) requirements that vessel owners or operators (plan holders) must meet in their respective vessel response plans (VRPs) Content within the new annex to familiarize municipal and industrial firefighters on plan holder actions in the event of a fire on board commercial vessels at marine terminals, piers, and wharves and also offer details on specific responsibilities of plan holders and their contracted MFF service providers Material directing users to NFPA 14, Standard for the Installation of Standpipe and Hose Systems, for requirements relating to standpipes and hose systems for marine terminals A new requirement that fire protection water supplies be inspected, tested, and maintained in accordance with NFPA 25, Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems, to help ensure water supply systems are operational when needed in the event of a fire or other emergencies Provisions that a fire risk assessment be performed in the design phase of construction to account for marine terminal structures having specific fire safety challenges, along with a list of resources to facilitate the assessment process
