船舶在海上航行时若遇到火灾，由于船上扑救力量有限，救援困难，如果不及时、正确地采取有效的应急措施，就有可能使火情蔓延，甚至发生爆炸，后果不堪设想。如：1994年1月13日，某救捞局所属的一艘远洋救助拖轮在拖带一大型浮船坞回国途中，因右主机飞车导致重大机损而引起机 If a ship encounters a fire while sailing on the sea, due to the limited rescue force on the ship, it is difficult to rescue. Failure to take effective emergency measures in a timely and correct manner may cause the fire to spread or even explode, resulting in disastrous consequences. For example, on January 13, 1994, an ocean rescue tug belonging to a salvage bureau was on its way back to China after towing a large floating dock, causing a major loss due to the right host’s speeding.
