Issued 16 August 2021
Resolved
The safety management system should ensure compliance with mandatory rules and regulation. Operational deficiencies found on board indicate a lack of effectiveness of the ISM Code implementation. A safety management audit is required to be carried out by Administration before the shiip is released from detention. PSCOs reviewed monthly life-saving appliance checks as well as the vessel's "Port State Control Inspection Preparation Checklist." Both checklists indicated the lifeboat inventory was good. This was in contradiction to observations made by the PSCO that the lifeboat was missing their entire inventory of food rations.
