Each administration shall, for the purposes of preventing fatigue: establish and enforce rest periods for watchkeeping personnel in accordance with the provisions of section A-VIII/1 of the STCW Code. Administrations shall require that records of daily hours of rest be maintained, to allow monitoring and verification of compliance. PSCO obtained objective evidence, in the form of written statements, that crew work/rest records were being falsified to hide violations of STCW standards by direction of the vessel's master which resulted in an individual assigned to a navigational watch not being given proper rest and subsequently falling asleep on watch. STCW VIII/1-1.1 STCW Code A-VIII/1-7

Each administration shall, for the purpose of preventing fatigue: require that watch systems are so arranged that the efficiency of all watch keeping personnel is not impaired by fatigue. PSCO obtained objective evidence, in the form of written statements, that a member of the navigational watch fell asleep on watch due to fatigue associated with lack of proper rest. STCW VIII/1-1.2

The company and the ship shall comply with the requirements of the International Safety Management Code. Objective evidence discovered during an expanded PSC Exam revealed the following non-conformities: The vessel failed to fully implement the requirements of the ISM Code through their safety management system procedures as evident by the following deficiencies indicating that the ship and or company are not meeting the SMS requirements. An SMS audit is required prior to release from detention. 74SOLAS (20) IX/3.1 ; ISM Code Part A #1: Objective evidence (cited on Form B items 2-15) exists that the vessel is not implementing the Safety Management system (SMS). The vessel has demonstrated a systematic lack of maintenance of critical equipment. Vessel's lack of SMS documentation and long-standing deficiencies identified throughout the course of the Port State Control Examination were not documented for any nonconformity, near miss or hazardous occurrence according to the vessel's Safety and Quality Management System. 74 SOLAS (20) IX/3.1; ISM Code Part A/10

The company should identify equipment and technical systems the sudden operational failure of which may result in hazardous situations. The safety management system should provide for specific measures aimed at promoting the reliability of such equipment. PSCO observed no lock-out/ tag-out procedures on board the vessel to identify electrical equipment under repair or otherwise unsafe. ISM Code Part A 10.3

The condition of the ship and its equipment shall be maintained to conform with the provisions of the present regulations and to ensure that the ship in all respects will remain fit to proceed to sea without danger to the ship or persons onboard. PSCO discovered a wasted steel deck penetration for electrical wiring leading into the ballast tank, resulting in an active leak and free communication to ballast tank. 74SOLAS (20) I/11(a)

The purpose of this regulation is to limit the fire growth potential in every space of the ship. For this purpose, the following functional requirements shall be met; Means of control for flammable liquids in the space shall be provided. PSCO observed the engine room bunker line to be actively leaking. 74SOLAS(04)II-2/5.1.2

The condition of the ship and its equipment shall be maintained to conform with the provisions of the present regulations to ensure that the ship in all respects will remain fit to proceed to sea without danger to the ship or persons onboard. PSCO observed multiple wasted and leaking hydraulic lines on deck which service the cargo hatch cover system, resulting in potential locking pin failure. 74SOLAS(20)I/11(a)

The construction and means for securing the weather tightness of cargo and other hatchways in position one and two shall be at times at least equivalent to the requirements of regulation 16. PSCO observed six wasted cargo hatch cover locking mechanisms unable to be properly secured for weather tightness. ILLC Reg. 14(1)

Electrical installations shall be such that the safety of crew and ship from electrical hazards shall be ensured. PSCO observed exposed wires on E/R vent fan motor with no evidence of securing or “tagging out” the equipment. 74SOLAS(20) II-1/40.1.3

All access openings in bulkheads at the ends of enclosed superstructures shall be fitted with doors of steel or other equivalent material, permanently and strongly attached to the bulkhead, and framed, stiffened and fitted so that the whole structure is of equivalent strength to the un-pierced bulkhead and weathertight when closed. PSCO observed severe corrosion on the upper edge of entry door and seal to carbon dioxide room, jeopardizing the weather tight integrity. ILLC Reg 12(1)

The means of embarkation and disembarkation shall be inspected and maintained in suitable condition for their intended purposes. PSCO observed that the starboard pilot ladder steel mount was severely wasted and unsafe for use. 74SOLAS (20) II-I/3-9.3

Adequate lighting shall be provided to illuminate the transfer arrangements over side and the position on deck where a person embarks or disembarks. PSCO observed the starboard pilot embarkation light missing. 74SOLAS (20)V/23.8

Every steam pipe and every fitting connected thereto through which steam may pass shall be so designed, constructed and installed as to withstand the maximum working stresses to which it may be subjected. PSCO observed a steam leak on deck in the steam line for the fuel oil tank heating system due to corrosion, located amidships. 74 SOLAS (20) II-I/33.1

The machinery and 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 as to reduce to a minimum any danger to persons on board. PSCO observed Anti Fouling System leaking salt water onto Ballast Water Management system electrical components. 74 SOLAS (20) II-I/26.1

The condition of the ship and its equipment shall be maintained to conform to the provisions of the present regulations to ensure that the ship, in all respects will remain fit to proceed to sea without danger to the ship or persons onboard. PSCO observed leaking potable water from the piping system at the water heater. 74 SOLAS (20) I/11(a)

After any survey of the ship under regulations 7, 8, 9, or 10 has been completed, no change shall be made in the structural arrangements, machinery, equipment and other items covered by the survey, without the sanction of the administration. PSCO observed unapproved modifications to the rescue boat steering system due to inoperable hydraulic steering system on rescue boat. 74 SOLAS (20) I/11(b)

The purpose of this regulation is to limit the fire growth potential in every space of the ship. For this purpose, the following functional requirements shall be met; Means of control for flammable liquids in the space shall be provided. PSCO observed leaking fuel from the #2 high pressure fuel pump. 74 SOLAS (04) II-2/5.1.2
