Personnel involved in cargo operations should be adequately trained in handing procedures. PSCO observed crew's lack of ability to test fixed gas sampling system. 74Solas(20) VII 13.1/IGC 18.3 40ac

The company should establish procedures to ensure that the ship is maintained in conformity with the provisions of the relevant rules and regulations and with any additional requirements, which may be established by the company. Objective evidence discovered during an expanded ISM exam revealed the following non-conformity: Due to the number and nature of deficiencies identified during the exam, it was determined the vessel failed to fully implement the requirements of the ISM code. PSCO found a systemic break down of the vessels SMS including master and crew's unfamiliarity with the vessel's maintenance procedures for testing fixed gas detection, failure to maintain life saving equipment, failure to prevent crew exposure to toxic gases, failure to maintain gas dangerous areas including compressor room and air lock. A safety management external audit carried out by the administration or the RO, with a corresponding report of findings satisfactory to the OCMI must be submitted prior to clearance of this deficiency and release from detention. 74 SOLAS(20)IX/3.1 ISM A/10.1 30ac

Cargo tank liquid level gauge of the closed type as required by column g in the table of chapter 19 for Anhydrous Ammonia shall be a closed device that keep the cargo from being released.

Before the ship leaves port and at all times during the voyage, all life-saving appliances shall be in working order and ready for immediate use. PSCO observed seized shackles on embarkation ladder, preventing it from being ready for immediate use. 74 SOLAS(20) III/20.2 30ac

The doors should be self-closing and without any holding back arrangements. PSCO observed a broken closure device impeding the door from self closing. 74Solas(20) VII13.1/IGC 3.6.2 30ac

The condition of the ship and its equipment should be maintained to conform with the provisions of the Code to ensure that the ship will remain fit to proceed to sea without danger to the ship or persons on board or without presenting unreasonable threat of harm to the marine environment. PSCO observed the filling of the testing device and storage of filled gas bladder, NH3, in an acommadation space. 74SOLAS(2) VII/13.1 - IGC 1.5.3.1 30ac

The condition of the ship and its equipment should be maintained to conform with the provisions of the Code to ensure that the ship will remain fit to proceed to sea without danger to the ship or persons on board or without presenting unreasonable threat of harm to the marine environment. PSCO observed the gas detection sampling cabinet in the cargo control room not gas tight with multiple holes on the side of the cabinet. 74Solas(20) VII 13.1/IGC 1.5.3.1 30ac

Personnel involved in cargo operations should be adequately trained in handing procedures. PSCO observed crew's lack of ability to test fixed gas sampling system. 74Solas(20) VII 13.1/IGC 18.3 30ac

Every tanker constructed on or after 1 July 1998 shall be provided with the means to enable the crew to gain safe access to the bow even in sever weather conditions. PSCO observed the stowage of miscellaneous equipment and gear in way of the safe access to the bow. 74SOLAS(04) II-1/3-3.2 17ac

Ships shall be designed, constructed and maintained in compliance with the structural, mechanical and electrical requirements of a classification society. PSCO observed visible light around the port and starboard compressor room water tight door while it was closed. 74SOLAS(04) II-l/3-1 17ac

Boundaries of superstructures and deck houses normally manned,cargo compressor rooms, cargo pump-rooms, store-rooms containing high fire risk items and cargo control rooms, all facing the cargo area. Boundaries of unmanned forecastle structures not containing high fire risk items or equipment do not require water-spray protection. PSCO observed 05 deck water spray nozzles on the forecastle clogged and not spraying water as intended. 74SOLAS(20)VII/13.1 IGC 11.3.1.4 17ac

Intrinsically safe electrical equipment and wiring may be fitted in all gas-dangerous spaces and zones as defined in 1.3.17. PSCO observed a wasted electrical junction box on the # 2 compressor in the compressor room. 74Solas(20) VII/13.1/IGC (93) 10.2.1 50ac

Electrical equipment within spaces protected by air locks should be of the certified safe type unless arranged to be de-energized by measures required by 3.6.4. PSCO observed a damaged electrical component including dead end wiring and loose packing glands in the motor room. 74Solas(20) VII/IGC (93) 13.1 50ac

Override arrangement, whenever necessary, to prevent its normal operation. This arrangement should include fusible elements designed to melt at temperatures between 9B°C and 104 °C and to cause relief valves specified in 8.3.1.1 to become operable. PSCO observed multiple fusible links covered by canvas bags at all 03 cargo tank tops. 74Solas(20) VII/13.1/IGC (93) 8.3.1.2 10c

To discharge ballast water into the waters of the United States, the master, owner, operator, agent or person in charge of a vessel subject to 151.2025 of this subpart must either ensure that the ballast water meets the ballast water discharge standard in 151.2030(a), use an AMS as described in 151.2025(a)(3), or ballast with water from a U.S. public water system, according to the schedule in paragraph (b) of this section. Subject vessel, of keel laid date 19DEC2006 and ballast water capacity of 12272 m3, is past its compliance date per the implementation schedule in 33 CFR 151.2035 (b). Currently, vessel’s installed BWTS is inoperative. Vessel is not authorized to discharge untreated ballast into the waters of the U.S. without prior written authorization from the local Captain of the Port under the provisions of 33 CFR 151.2040 (b). 33CFR151.2035

Electrical installations should be such as to minimize the risk of fire and explosion from flammable products. PSCO observed approximately 06 explosion proof light fixtures on the cargo deck, exterior of compressor room, motor room, and forward superstucture. 74SOLAS(14) VII/12 IGC(93) 10.1.2

Where electrical equipment is installed in gas dangerous spaces it should be to the satisfaction of the administration for operation in the flammable atmosphere concerned. Multiple electrical devices had exposed wiring in the compressor room. Glycol temperature sensors, for example. '74 SOLAS (14) VII/12 - - IGC('93) 10.1.5
