To the Question of Improving the Regulatory Base on Fire Safety of Rack-Up Ships

The actual problem of improving the regulatory documentation on fire safety of rack-mounted inland water transport vessels used as hotels, restaurants and nightclubs, in which there is a significant number of visitors (mass stay of people), is considered. There is an increase in the number of such vessels, and, consequently, an increased risk of fires with severe consequences. The purpose of the work is to improve the regulatory framework for fire safety of moored ships. The study used the method of analyzing statistics and problematic issues of their suppression. The results of the work showed the need to assess the features of ensuring the safety of rack-mounted non-self-propelled vessels. Based on the processing, analysis and systematization of the data obtained, it will be possible to develop proposals for further implementation in legal documents and assess the feasibility of their application.
