37. Naked light regulations are being observed.

A naked light or open fire comprises the following: flame, spark formation, naked electric
light or any surface with a temperature that is equal to or higher than the minimum ignition
temperature of the products handled in the operation.
The use of naked lights or open fires on board the ship, and within a distance of 25 metres
of the ship, should be prohibited, unless all applicable regulations have been met and
agreement reached by the port authority, terminal representative and the master. This
distance may have to be extended for ships of a specialised nature such as gas tankers.
