It should be High Expansion Foam - Deck of a tanker - Please correct

Thanks for the comment please note that, On the deck of a tanker, where there might be flammable liquid spills or fires, low expansion foam is particularly useful as it can spread over the surface of the liquid, covering a large area rapidly and effectively. This helps to prevent the spread of the fire and minimize the risk of reignition. Additionally, the foam's cooling properties can help to reduce the temperature of the flammable liquid, making it less likely to ignite or reignite.
High expansion foam, on the other hand, is generally more suitable for enclosed spaces such as engine rooms, where it can quickly fill the area and smother the fire. DCP (Dry Chemical Powder) and CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) are also used for firefighting, but they might not be as effective on the deck of a tanker, especially for containing liquid fires and preventing reignition.
