The company and ship shall comply with the requirements of the ISM Code. Objective evidence discovered in an expanded ISM examination revealed that the vessel’s implementation of its SMS failed to fully meet the requirements of the ISM Code. Specifically, the vessel was not maintained in conformity with the provisions of the relevant rules and regulations. This is made particularly evident by deficiency #02, as "2023" in the expiration date was obscured by an added label saying "2024," and deficiency #07, as the master had already signed the bottom of the page to attest that those equipment checks were done for the month of June. Deficiencies #03, #06, and #10 also show issues with vessel maintenance. Additionally, safe practices in ship operation and a safe working environment were not provided for. This is made particularly evident by deficiency #04, as following the operating instructions for the engine room fixed CO2 system would not have resulted in a discharge of the bottles, and deficiency #06, as attempts at temporary repairs were made, but using non-fire-resistant material. Deficiencies #02, #03, and #09 also show that a safe working environment was not being provided. An external audit is required. 74 SOLAS 20 IX/3.1 ISM Code 10.1 ISM Code 1.2.2.1 30ac
