How can the water mist system be activated?

The water mist system can be activated locally or through the Marine Control Management System (MCMS). This flexibility allows for multiple modes of activation, enhancing the response capability in varying situations.

Local activation is crucial in scenarios where immediate action is necessary, enabling personnel to engage the system without delay. Meanwhile, using the MCMS allows for remote activation, which is beneficial when personnel may not be in proximity to a manual control point, or when the situation requires a coordinated response led by the control system.

Both activation methods reflect the system's design to ensure efficacy in fire suppression by allowing for quick responses based on the circumstances, whether by personnel on-site or by the control system monitoring conditions.

Other methods of activation, such as the ones mentioned in the question, either limit activation to certain areas or rely solely on specific conditions, which can hinder timely intervention in emergencies. Thus, the ability to activate the water mist system through either local means or the MCMS provides a robust approach to fire protection.
