(07126)(74 SOLAS 04, II-2/4.1)(17ac) THE PURPOSE OF THIS REGULATION IS TO PREVENT THE IGNITION OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS OR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS. FOR THIS PURPOSE THE FOLLOWING FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS SHALL BE MET. MEANS SHALL BE PROVIDED TO CONTROL LEAKS OF FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS. MEANS SHALL BE PROVIDED TO LIMIT THE ACCUMILATION FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS. PSCO'S OBSERVED SEVERAL LEAKS FROM MACHINERY THROUGHOUT ENGINE ROOM. PSCO'S OBSERVED EXCESSIVE FUEL AND LUBE OIL LEAKAGE AROUND #3, #4, AND #5 MAIN ENGINE CYLINDERS. PSCO'S OBSERVED LUBE OIL LEAK ON #1 GENERATOR OF APPROXIMATELY ONE DROP PER EVERY THREE SECONDS. PSCO'S OBSERVED EXCESSIVE LEAKAGE AROUND BOTH HEAVY FUEL PURIFIERS DO TO CONNECTIONS IN THE ASSOCIATED PIPING.

(01199)(74 SOLAS 14, I-10(a)(ii))(17abc) THE STRUCTURE MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT OF A CARGO SHIP AS REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (b)(i) SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE SURVEYS AND INSPECTIONS SPECIFIED BELOW; A RENEWAL SURVEY AT INTERVALS SPECIFIED BY THE ADMINISTRATION BUT NOT EXCEEDING 5 YEARS. VESSEL HAS DOCUMENTATION AUTHORIZED AN EXTENDED DRY-DOCK PERIOD OF 7.5 YEARS FROM LIBERIA AND DNV-GL. HOWEVER, DNV-GL PROVIDED THE STIPULATIONS THAT THE VESSELS CLASS, FLAG, OWNER OR MANAGER CANNOT CHANGE OR THE APPROVAL FOR THE PROGRAM BECOMES INVALID. THE VESSEL'S MANAGING COMPANY CHANGED ON 18MAR19 AND THE VESSEL HAS NO DOCUMENTATION OF RECEIVING APPROVAL FOR PROGRAM WITH NEW COMPANY. VESSEL NEEDS DETERMINATION ON WHEITHER THEY ARE STILL ELIGIBLE FOR EXTENSION.

(02105)(74 SOLAS 04, II-1/29.2.1)(16ac) ALL THESE STEERING GEAR COMPONENTS AND THE RUDDER SYOCK SHALL BE OF SOUND AND RELIABLE CONSTRUCTION TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE ADMINISTRATION. PSCO'S FOUND HYDRAULIC PIPING ON STEERING GEAR PUMP #1 TO BE LEAKING AT A RATE OF ONE DROP EVERY THREE SECONDS

(99101)(33 CFR 156.170 (c)(4)(40c) EACH LOADING ARM AND EACH TRANSFER PIPE SYSTEM INCLUDING EACH METALLIC HOSE MUST NOT LEAK UNDER STATIC LIQUID PRESSURE AT LEAST 1.5 TIMES THE MAX ALLOWABLE WORKING PRESSURE. VESSEL COULD NOT PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF BUNKER LINE HYDROSTATIC TEST AT 1.5 TIMES MAX LEVEL OF WORKING PRESSURE.

After any survey of the ship under paragraph 1 of this regulation has been completed, no change shall be made in the structure, equipment, systems fittings, arrangements or material covered by the survey without the sanction of the Administration, except the direct replacement. PSCO observed while running OWS that a 1/4 turn ball valve was fitted on the discharge side of the oil content meter, that when closed would not allow the discharge sample to flow across content meter photo eye, allowing affluent from OWS to be discharged overboard. MARPOL Annex I Regulation 6.4.2

Suitable arrangements shall be provided to preclude as far as practicable, the entry of oil or other contaminates. PSCO observed an oil like substance in the boiler condensate tank.

The condition of the ship and its equipment shall be maintained to ensure the ship will remain fit to proceed to sea without danger to the ship or persons on board. The PSCO observed the variable injection timing system on the main engine dismantled. The upper plunger rods are held into position with wire.

Connections within the fuel supply shall be constructed to prevent oil fuel leaks. PSCO observed a fuel leak on the #3 cylinder (M/E) after the high pressure fuel pump.

An efficient bilge pumping system shall be provided. The bilge piping system for the engine room is dismantled and the bilge pump is missing.

The machinery and associated piping systems and fittings shall be of a design and construction adequate for the service for which they are intended. PSCO observed a jacket water leak on the #5 cylinder.

The condidtion of the ship and its equipment shall be maintained to ensure the ship will remain fit to proceed to sea without danger to the ship or persons on board. PSCO observed the hot water heater (pressure vessel) leaking due to wastage at the bottom.

The condition of the ship and its equipment shall be maintained to ensure the ship will remain fit to proceed to sea without danger to the ship or persons on board. The incinerator exhaust fan is inoperable due to a broken belt.

The arrangements for the storage, distribution and initialization of the oil fuel shall be such as to ensure the safety of the ship and persons on board. There are numerous leaks and accumulation of fuel oil in the engine room. Heavy accumulations in the purifier space, auxiliary engine sumps & bilges, on the main engine & in the bilges are evident. Numerous unauthorized catch buckets were also noted throughout the engine room. SOLAS 74/78 (14 cons) II-2/4.2.2
