NFPA 306 spells out where combustible and flammable materials are present on marine vessels – and safety precautions for entry and work in confined spaces.
Gas hazards present considerable fire protection and life safety issues for marine vessels, shipyards, and waterfront facilities. NFPA 306, Standard for the Control of Gas Hazards on Vessels codifies a set of requirements to mitigate the dangers that may come with concentrations of combustible, flammable, or toxic liquids, gases, chemicals, or vapors.
NFPA 306 is essential for safety before and during work aboard.
The standard prescribes the minimum requirements necessary for entry and work in confined spaces on marine vessels and waterfront facilities. It applies to vessels during construction, alteration, repair, and shipbreaking, as well as land-side confined spaces (whether stationary or mobile) located within the boundaries of the shipyard or vessel repair or other waterfront facility. NFPA 306 requirements also help you determine when a marine chemist is required, how a marine certificate is issued and maintained, and what to expect during an inspection.
Activities that fall within the purview of this standard include:
- Application or removal of protective coatings
- Riveting
- Welding
- Burning
- Other fire-producing operations
Revised to closely align with U.S. Coast Guard and OSHA regulations, the 2019 edition presents technical changes such as:
- A new definition for the term waterfront facility, drawn from U.S. Coast Guard regulation 33 CFR 6.01-4
- New coverage of the hazards associated with hot work in, on, and adjacent to ammunition spaces, through references for applicable publications issued by the S. Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA)
- Clarification that the determination of conditions for the purpose of issuing a Marine Chemist’s Certificate must exist at the time of the Marine Chemist’s tests and inspection
- New mandates that if a space is designated “Inerted” it must also be designated “Not Safe for Workers.” Depending on the scope of work, it must designated “Safe for Hot Work” or “Safe for Limited Hot Work” as applicable.
- A new requirement that the Marine Chemist’s name and a contact number must be noted on the certificate — emphasizing that a change of the conditions that affect the safety of work authorized by a Marine Chemist’s Certificate must be communicated to the Marine Chemist.
- In addition, Chapter 9 now applies to flammable cryogenic liquids that are carried as both cargo and as fuel, in response to the growth of marine vessels fueled by liquefied natural gas (LNG).

Trust the 2014 NFPA 306 to provide guidance where combustible and flammable materials are present on marine vessels.
Gas hazards present considerable fire protection and life safety issues for marine vessels, shipyards, and land-side vessels. NFPA 306 codifies a set of requirements to mitigate the dangers that may come with concentrations of combustible, flammable, or toxic liquids, gases, chemicals, or vapors.
Newly organized with more intuitive workflows for shipyard employees and clarified preparation for inspections!
The 2014 edition of NFPA 306: Standard for the Control of Gas Hazards on Vessels has been completely reorganized to provide a more intuitive workflow for shipyard employees and vessel repair professionals. NFPA 306 makes it easier to determine when a marine chemist is required, how a marine certificate is issued and maintained, and what to expect during an inspection. It also clarifies how you can prepare the vessel for inspection and survey — and align work processes during vessel construction, conversion, repair, and other shipyard employment more closely with actual workflows.

Apply the 2009 NFPA 306 to reduce fire and explosion risks aboard marine vessels and in shipyards.
Essential to fire and life safety, NFPA 306: Standard for the Control of Gas Hazards on Vessels provides minimum requirements and conditions for use in determining that a space or area on a vessel, or in a shipyard or ship repair facility, is safe for entry or work. It specifies safety requirements for vessels carrying or burning as fuel flammable or combustible liquids, and also applies to vessels carrying or having carried flammable compressed gases, chemicals in bulk, or other products capable of creating a hazardous condition. NFPA 306 is the standard of practice that NFPA®-certificated Marine Chemists must follow in carrying out their duties where required by regulations of the U.S. Department of Labor/ OSHA and the U.S. Coast Guard.
The 2009 edition is based on new data and critical lessons learned:
- Revised definition of adjacent spaces now includes areas affected by hot work and where slag, products of combustion, or sparks would be expected to fall or accumulate.
- The term “vessel” is expanded to include floating structures not primarily designed as a means of transportation on water such as offshore drilling, production, and/or storage vessels.
- Added definitions address the terms host employer, contract employer, and multi-employer workplace
Also includes revised requirements necessary for obtaining a Marine Chemist’s Certificate and the requirements for maintaining the Certificate. This edition of NFPA 306 is essential for everyone concerned with or responsible for marine fire and life safety or contracting aboard marine vessels or in shipyards.
