(a) On the following vessels, approved fire detecting systems must be installed in the locations indicated by Table 76.05-1(a):
(1) Any vessel on an international voyage;
(2) Any vessel, not on an international voyage, of more than 150 feet in length having sleeping accommodations for passengers; and
(3) Any vessel, not on an international voyage, of 150 feet or less in length that has sleeping accommodations for 50 or more passengers; such vessels are not required to have a detecting system in the cargo spaces.

sprinkling.------------------------------------------------------------------------Notes to Table 76.01-5(a)\1\ Vessels of 100 gross tons and over contracted for, on, or before May
27, 1936, and having combustible joiner work must be fitted with an
automatic sprinkling system, except in relatively incombustible
spaces.\2\ On vessels contracted for prior to November 19, 1952, electric or
pneumatic detecting may be substituted.\3\ On vessels contracted for prior to January 1, 1962, a steam
smothering system may be accepted. However, although existing steam
smothering systems may be repaired, replaced, or extended, no new
system contracted for on or after January 1, 1962, will be permitted.\4\ Protection of auxiliary boilers, fuel oil units, valves, and
manifolds are not required on vessels contracted for prior to November
19, 1952.\5\ Not required on vessels less than 300 gross tons (except on an
international voyage) using fuel with a flashpoint higher than 110
[deg]F., where the space is normally manned.\6\ Not required on vessels contracted for prior to November 19, 1952.\7\ Not required on vessels less than 300 gross tons nor on vessels
contracted for prior to November 19, 1952, except when fuel, including
starting fuel, has a flashpoint of 110 [deg]F. or less.\8\ When fuel with a flashpoint of 110 [deg]F. or lower is used, the
space containing the fuel tanks must be protected by a carbon dioxide
or clean agent system as described in 46 CFR subpart 95.16.
(b) The arrangements and details of the fire detecting systems must meet the requirements in 46 CFR subparts 76.25 through 76.33. [USCG-2006-24797, 77 FR 33875, June 7, 2012]
