LAILA ADELE

An existing vessel may be deemed by the OCMI, or TPO, to be in compliance with this subpart provided that the vessel has been both in satisfactory service insofar as structural adequacy is concerned and does not cause the structure of the vessel to be questioned by either the OCMI, or TPO engaged to perform an audit or survey. Another vessel collided with the forward stbd side of this vessel constituting a marine casualty, causing damage to the rub rails, bulwarks, and most importantly, the internal framing of the affected space. As indicated by pictures and a damage survey report, our concern is the internal structural framing that was distorted, to which should be repaired within 30 days, to prevent the damage from spreading, or weakening the structure in the event of a repeated collision/impact. All other repair items identified in the survey report and statement from the Third Party Organization to be corrected in accordance with the company's Towing Safety Management System. Until framing repairs are made, conduct frequent inspections of the internal framing & any other associated damage for degrading conditions/hazards and log entries in the logbook.
