Means shall be provided to control leaks of flammable liquids. PSCO observed evidence of leaks on HFO fuel tank, oil soaked lagging near the adjacent drain and numerous oil soaked rags under SSDGs #3 and #4. 74 SOLAS (09 Cons) II-2/4.1.3 - 17ac

Machinery and associated piping systems shall be adequate for the intended service. PSCO observed a fiberglass patch on a water feed pipe to the ballast water treatment system that is leaking on stairs into the purifier room. 74 SOLAS (20 Cons) I/11 26.1 - 50ac

External high-pressure fuel delivery lines between the high-pressure fuel pumps and fuel injectors shall be protected with a jacketed piping system capable of containing fuel from a high pressure line failure. PSCOs observed cavities on outer layer of 2 double jacketed fuel lines on cylinders 6 and 7 with damage to both fuel lines on cylinder 8. 74 SOLAS (04) II-2/4.2.2.5.2

Each marine sanitation device must be free of defects that would allow toxic substances to escape to the interior of the vessel. PSCO observed port side/forward sewage tank wasted and seeping sewage. 33CFR159.95(a)(1). Code 50ac

Each liferaft or group of liferafts shall be stowed with a float-free arrangement complying with the requirements of Paragraph 4.1.6 of the Code so that each floats free and, if inflatable, inflates automatically when the ship sinks. PSCO observed the lower, STBD side liferaft improperly rigged such that the painter arrangement would cause the liferaft to sink with the ship.

Except as specified in Paragraph 3 of this regulation, any ship of 10,000 gross tonnage and above shall be fitted with oil filtering equipment complying with Paragraph 7 of this regulation. PSCO observed the oil content meter fail to properly sense and indicate the correct PPM level when the sensor was blinded with the brush.

Every oil tanker of 150 gross tonnage and above and every ship of 400 gross tonnage and above other than an oil tanker shall be provided with an Oil Record Book Part I (Machinery Space Operations). The Oil Record Book, whether as a part of the ship’s official logbook or otherwise, shall be in the form specified in Appendix III to this Annex. PSCO observed several entries in the Oil Record Book corrected with whiteout instead of struck through with a line, dated, and signed.

The company and ship shall comply with the requirements of the ISM Code. The crew identified the fire main was leaking on deck, yet they failed to report their finding to the company through their electronic maintenance system, AMOS. Additionally, their SMS identifies that monthly the fixed high pressure CO2 system shall be checked verifying all releasing controls are in the proper position and readily accessible for immediate use. While conducting a deck walk, the PSCE identified a weathertight box containing the CO2 release controls and fire dampener to the emergency generator space was wasted. Upon further investigation, the box was extremely difficult to open and the responsible crewmember admitted he bypasses inspecting the equipment as required by SMS. Additionally, the SMS identifies verifying all discharge piping and pneumatic tubing is intact and has not been damaged on the fixed CO2 system. A natural vent in the CO2 room is causing wastage on the system which has not been identified by the crew during their monthly maintenance. They report the system is in good order. Finally, crewmembers are to conduct joint inspections when being relieved and record the changeover on the "Handing Over Form (Form SMS.FM.012.d)", these forms reflect crewmembers are copying previous entried only making minor modifications such as changing the date. The SMS, nor the electronic maintenance system, AMOS, does not identify the fire main as a critical system or required maintenance on the system. Recommend a full audit of the SMS. 74 SOLAS (14) IX/3.1 ISM Code Part A 10 30abc

Maintenance, testing, and inspections shall be carried out based on the guidelines developed by the organization and in a manner having due regard to ensuring the reliability of firefighting systems and appliances. The CO2 room has a vent leading into the space from the weatherdeck causing wastage to multiple CO2 bottles, dry rotting of flexible hoses, and corrosion of associated piping systems. 74 SOLAS (04) II-2/14.2.2.1 17a

Fire-fighting systems and appliances shall be kept in good working order and readily available for immediate use. Found excessive leaking from the fire main on deck, on the port side on vicinity of bay 31. Additionally found the fire main leaking on the port side of bay 53. 74 SOLAS (04) II-2/14.2.1.2 17a

The International Shore Connection shall be kept aboard the ship together with a gasket, together with four (4) bolts, four (4) nuts, and eight (8) washers. The fire control plan identifies 02 International Shore Connections. The starboard side International Shore Connection was missing all bolts, nuts, and washers. 74 SOLAS (04) II-2/10.2.1.7.1 FSS Code 2.2.2 10c

Fire protection systems and fire fighting systems and appliances shall be properly tested and inspected. The fixed CO2 control system for the emergency generator has not been properly maintained as per the vessel's SMS. 74 SOLAS (04) II-2/14.1.2 17a

74 SOLAS (04) II-2/4.1.1 - THE PURPOSE OF THIS REGULATION IS TO PREVENT THE IGNITION OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL OR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS. MEANS SHALL BE PROVIDED TO CONTROL LEAKS OF FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS. THE NUMBER 2 CIRCULAR PUMP IN THE PURIFIER ROOM WAS LEAKING EXCESSIVELY.
