THE PURPOSE OF THIS REGULATION IS TO SUPPRESS AND SWIFTLY EXTINGUISH A FIRE IN THE SPACE OF ORIGIN, EXCEPT FOR THE PARAGRAPH 1.2. FOR THIS PURPOSE THE FOLLOWING FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS SHALL BE MET: FIRE EXTINGUISHING APPLIANCES SHALL BE READILY AVAILABLE. #6 FIRE MAIN HAS HOLE WITH A TEMPORARY PATCH STILL LEAKING.

A chemical tanker shall comply with the requirements of the International Bulk Chemical Code. Where column o in the table of chapter 17 refers to this section, water shall not be allowed to contaminate this cargo. In addition, the following provisions apply: [.3] The cargo shall not be carried in cargo tanks adjacent to permanent ballast or water tanks unless the tanks are empty and dry. PSCO Observed 252 cubic meters of ballast water loaded in #6 port Water Ballast Tank (WBT) which was adjacent to the #7 Port Cargo Tank which was carrying sulfuric acid. 74 SOLAS (20) VII/10.1 IBC 15.16.2.3 30abc

A chemical tanker shall comply with the requirements of the International Bulk Chemical Code. The arrangements for providing foam shall be capable of delivering foam to the entire cargo tanks deck area as well as into any cargo tank, the deck of which is assumed to be ruptured. PSCO Observed inadequate firefighting cargo deck area coverage from foam monitors. Monitors provided less than 50% coverage of the cargo tanks deck area in the vicinity of the starboard cargo manifold and Cargo Tank #3, thus limiting the ship's firefighting capability 74 SOLAS 20 VII/10.1 IBC 11.3.3 30abc

The company and the ship shall comply with the requirements of the International Safety Management Code. [6.4] The company should ensure that all personnel involved in the company's safety management system have an adequate understanding of the relevant rules, regulations, codes and guidelines. PSCO observed a loaded ballast water tank adjacent to cargo tank containing sulfuric acid. The vessel's SMS references cargo compatibility chart (APP 1) and the cargo operation manual which prohibits two incompatible substances from being stored adjacent to one another. PSCO also observed incompatible cargo samples stowed in the cargo sample storage locker. Additionally, PSCO observed crew attempting to remove a flange from a cargo tank containing sulfuric acid to test the operation of pressure alarms which is contradictory to the approved procedures for testing pressure sensors in cargo tanks. An external audit by Flag is to determine whether ship crew are operating in accordance with the ISM code, to include cargo compatibility procedures, testing of pressure alarms and cargo sample storage is required prior to being released from detention. 74SOLAS(20)IX/3.1 / ISM Code 6.4 30abc

A chemical Tanker shall comply with the requirements of the International Bulk Chemical Code. [16.3.2] Personnel involved in cargo operations shall be adequately trained in handling procedures. PSCO observed the crew try to remove flange on cargo tank #8 starboard to test pressure sensors. The cargo tank had 603 M3 of sulfuric acid. PSCO's informed the crew to stop and review ship's procedures for testing pressure sensors in cargo tanks. After review, it was determined the ship's procedures for testing pressure sensors stated; adjust pressure set points in the cargo tank in CCR to verify satisfactory operation of the pressure alarms. 74SOLAS(20)VII/10.1 / IBC 16.3.2 17abc

A chemical tanker shall comply with the requirements of the International Bulk Chemical Code. Samples which react with each other shall not be stowed close to each other. PSCO observed multiple cargo and fuel samples inadequately segregated in the cargo sample locker. 74SOLAS(20)VII/10.1 / IBC 16.5.3 17abc
