Which type of portable system can be moved around the vessel?

The type of portable system that can be moved around the vessel is defined as portable systems. These systems are specifically designed to be easily transportable and often come equipped with wheels or handles, allowing personnel to bring them to the site of a fire or emergency quickly. Because they can be relocated to various areas of the vessel, portable systems provide crucial flexibility and responsiveness in firefighting situations, especially in confined spaces or in scenarios where the fire may spread rapidly.

Other systems, such as fixed systems, are installed in specific locations and remain stationary, making them less adaptable to changing fire locations. Semi-portable systems may offer some degree of mobility but do not possess the complete mobility of fully portable systems. Static systems also lack mobility, as they are installed permanently and cannot be moved. Understanding these distinctions helps reinforce the importance of having truly portable firefighting equipment readily available on board.
