THE MACHINERY, BOILERS, AND OTHER PRESSURE VESSELS, ASSOCIATED PIPING SYSTEMS AND FITTINGS SHALL BE OF A DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION ADEQUATE FOR THE SERVICE FOR WHICH THEY ARE INTENDED AND SHALL BE SO INSTALLED AND PROTECTED SO AS TO REDUCE TO A MINIMUM ANY DANGER TO PERSONS ONBOARD, DUE REGARD BEING PAID TO MOVING PARTS, HOT SURFACES, AND OTHER HAZARDS. PSCO OBSERVED STEAM LEAK FROM TOP OF AUXILIARY BOILER IN THE ENGINE ROOM. 74 SOLAS (2004) II-1/REG 26.1 40AC

Each operation described in paragraph 2 of this regulation shall be fully recorded without delay in the Oil Record Book Part I, so that all entries in the book appropriate to that operation are completed. Missing bunker log entry in Oil Record Book Part 1 for receipt of 2,501.980 metric tons of HCFO and 199.870 metric tons of MGO on 08/01/2023. Additionally, log entry detailing oil transfers from the bilge well below main engine through a manual portable pump to sludge tank not being recording in Oil Record Book Part 1.

The company and the ship shall comply with the requirements of the International Safety Management Code. For the purpose of this regulation, the requirements of the code shall be treated as mandatory. In meeting these requirements, the company should ensure that inspections be held at appropriate intervals. Any non-conformity is reported with its possible cause. If known appropriate corrective action is taken. Due to the objective evidence in the following deficiencies, the vessel is not in substantial compliance with relevant conventions calling into question the adequacy and implementation of the vessels SMS under the ISM code. PSCO collected objective evidence that the vessel was not identifying non-conformities and following the inspection and reporting requirements of its SMS. An external audit by a third party is required. Provide a copy of the completed audit to the USCG prior to departure from port.

In addition to the requirements contained elsewhere in the present regulations, ships shall be designed, constructed and maintained in compliance with the structural, mechanical, and electrical requirements of a classification society which is recognized by the administration in accordance with the provisions of regulation XI/1, or with applicable national standards of the Administration which provide an equivalent level of safety. PSCO observed portable pump next to bilge well opening below main engine. Chief engineer explained that the manual portable pump is used to transfer bilge contents from bilge well to sludge tank. This was due to the oil content being too high and triggering shutdown of the OWS system. No class or flag approved procedures or instructions could be provided.

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. PSCO observed numerous oil soaked rags, catch basins around engine room and oil stained cardboard being used as splash guard around fuel filter on generators #2 and #4.

Every steam pipe and every fitting connected there to through which steam may pass shall be designed, constructed and installed as to withstand the maximum working stress to which it may be subjected. PSCO observed water leakage from steam line in oil purifier system.

The machinery, boilers and and other pressure vessels, associated piping systems and fittings shall be of a design and construction adequate for the service for which they are intended and shall be so installed and protected as to reduce to a minimum and danger to persons on board, due regard being paid to moving parts, hot surfaces and other hazards. The design shall have regard to material used in construction, the purpose for which the equipment is intended, the working conditions to which it will be subjected and the environmental condition on board. PSCO observed steam leak from top of auxiliary boiler.

Doors required to be self- closing shall not be fitted with hold back hooks. PSCO observed door to emergency generator room was held open with tied electrical cable.

The function of fixed fire detection and fire alarm systems shall be periodically tested to the satisfaction of the administration by means of equipment producing hot air at the appropriate temperature, or smoke or aerosol particles having the appropriate range of density or particle size, or other phenomena associated with incipient fires to which the detector is designed to respond. PSCO observed chief engineer testing the flame detector with a flame releasing device.

In the event of a power failure to any of the steering gear power units, an audible and visual alarm shall be given on the navigation bridge. PSCO oberved visual alarm on bridge was inoperable for steering gear overload. 16AC 74 SOLAS (2004 cons) II-1/Reg. 29.5.2
