AMERICAN CONSTITUTION

Repairs of alterations to the hull, machinery, or equipment that affect the safety of the vessel must not be made without the approval of the cognizant OCMI, except during an emergency. MI attendance is required to verify satisfactory repairs to main engine fuel system.

Waste paper baskets shall be constructed of approved incombustible materials with solid sides and bottoms. All waste receptacles in the galley were plastic. 46 CFR 116.400 (b) 46 CFR 72.05-55 (b) NVIC 9-97 CH-1, section 2.9.1 (pg. 37)

Piping, including valves, pipe fittings and flanges, conveying vapor, gas, or liquid, the temperature of which exceeds 65.5 °C (150 °F), must be insulated where necessary to prevent injuries. MI observed missing lagging on hot piping on port main engine and #1 SSDG.

The master or person in charge of a ship ... shall ensure that one or more placards meeting the requirements of this section are displayed in prominent locations in sufficient numbers so that they can be read by the crew and passengers. These locations must be readily accessible to the intended reader. MI observed that the only garbage placard was in the engine room, and no garbage placard was plainly readable by galley crew.

A fire control plan must be posted on the vessel in a location that is accessible and visible to all passengers. The plan must show escape routes, areas of refuge, embarkation stations, the location of fire protection/emergency equipment, compartment titles and hazard classification of accommodation and service spaces, and structural fire protection boundaries. The FCP did not align with the following onboard equipment: 4th deck hotdog stand - add wet chem system to FCP and "P"; Main Deck - add wet chem system to FCP.

Fire dampers must be capable of manual operation from outside the space served, be fitted with an indicator showing whether the damper is open or closed, and be marked with red letters of at least 12.7 millimeters (0.5 inches) in height stating “VENTILATION FIRE DAMPER”. The following fire dampers were missing markings: 4th deck public head vent outboard of amidships lounge, 3rd deck forward corridor supply outboard of stateroom 307, 2nd deck forward corridor supply damper outboard of stateroom 217, 2nd deck aft corridor supply damper outboard of stateroom 220, and 2nd deck dining room supply damper outboard of state room 228. Damper labels onboard should align with FCP.

Each ring life buoy on a vessel must: Be approved in accordance with § 160.050 in subchapter Q of this chapter, or other standard specified by the Commandant, including, but not limited to, approval series 160.150. Each item of lifesaving equipment determined by the marine inspector to not be in serviceable condition must be repaired or replaced. The ring buoy on the 2nd deck bow was deteriorated and cracking. 46 CFR 117.70(b)(1) 46 CFR 115.808 (b)

The minimum requirements for bulkheads between various spaces, where such bulkheads do not form the boundaries of MVZs, shall be as noted in table 72.05-10(e). Category 3 adjacent to category 6: B-0. On the 5th deck, the bulkhead boundary between the category 3 corridor and the category 6 stateroom #501 is compromised forward of the door to the stateroom (insulation used to extend the boundary above the false ceiling damaged and holed).

Clear instructions must be provided on the vessel that detail the actions each person on board should follow in the event of an emergency. Each muster list must at least specify: (6) the duties assigned to different members of the crew. Duties to be specified include...(v) mustering the passengers and other persons on board; (7) the duties assigned to members of the crew in relation to passengers and other persons on board in case of an emergency...assigned duties to be specified include: (iii) assembling passengers and other persons on board at muster stations, (iv) keeping order in the passageways and on the stairways and generally controlling the movements of passengers and other persons onboard. During the man overboard and abandon ship drills, passengers were directed to muster in the main dining room and 3rd deck lounge, accordingly. When Marine Inspectors reported to these spaces as a simulated passenger and queried the crew on who was responsible for mustering of passengers and generally controlling the passengers during these emergencies, no crewmember in attendance acknowledged as the responsible person. The current procedures call for the hotel manager to personally take accountability of all passengers (vessel certificated for 173 overnight passengers) himself. Additionally, during the fire drill crew at the passenger muster station were queried regarding procedures for assisting passengers up/down the stairs; crew responded that the deck team handled carrying passengers via Stryker chairs. However, the deck team are the primary firefighters on the station bill for fighting the fire. Finally, during the abandon ship drill, crew simulated IBAs being deployed to and passengers/crew boarding the IBAs from the stern, while the passenger safety bill posted in staterooms states that the embarkation station is the main deck port side. The stern location also does not appear to meet all requirements for an embarkation station (example: floodlights on emergency power iaw 120.434, etc.). Update the station bill as necessary to address the noted gaps. Ensure all emergency procedures and documents are in alignment regarding embarkation station location(s). Provide updated station bill and signed attestation from master for training on updates to the satisfaction of the local OCMI.

Doors in stairway enclosures and Main Vertical Zone bulkheads shall, in addition to meeting the requirements of this paragraph, also meet the following requirements: Doors, other than those which are normally locked, such as from staterooms, fan rooms, lockers, etc., shall be of the self-closing type capable of closing against a 31/2 degree list. Double leaf door on aft side of vestibule on 3rd deck not fully closing and latching.

Repairs or alterations to the hull, machinery, or equipment that affect the safety of a vessel must not be made without the approval of the cognizant OCMI. The owner or managing operator shall submit drawings, sketches, or written specifications describing the details of any proposed alterations to the cognizant [name withheld] required to be submitted to MSC: marine sanitation device model number, approval number, connecting wiring and piping. Vessel's MSD was replaced during recent dry dock. Plans have been submitted to MSC for the electrical modifications, but plan approval has not yet been received by the owner/operator. Provide a copy of the MSC approval letter once received, and make vessel available for inspection if/as necessary for any OCMI verification comments on the MSC letter. Update 4/25: Plans have been submitted to MSC, MSC has requested additional information, ACL has provided additional information. Correspondence on-going. Extended deficiency due date by 30 days, to 6/7/25, accordingly.

A crew accommodation space on a vessel of >65 feet in length with overnight accommodations for >49 passengers must comply with...72.20-45 in Subchapter H. Each berth must have a light. Most of the 3 person crew berthing rooms for the male crew berthing are missing a bunk/berth light for the 3rd (i.e. single height) bunk. Vessel to rectify in next off-season prior to 12/31/2025.

In all ventilation systems, manually operated dampers or other suitable means shall be provided in accessible locations, outside the spaces served by the system, for shutting off the passage of air in the event of a fire. The release pin for sliding the damper open and closed on the vent damper for the elevator shaft on 6th deck is worn and became seized in the closed position when tested.

The minimum requirements for the bulkheads between the various spaces, where such bulkheads do not form the boundaries of main vertical zones, shall be as noted in table 72.05-10(e). Both the fire control plan and the structural fire protection - bulkheads - plan show the aft transverse boundary of the crew laundry to be A-60 in its entirety. Aft A-60 boundary not maintained into void space that adjoins crew berthing, pipe penetrations observed with large sections of bulkhead cutout. Vessel to rectify in next off-season prior to 12/31/2025. At a minimum, an A-0 boundary must be achieved (required minimum SFP rating from Table 72.05-10(e) between category 9 and category 12). *Code 705 = due 12/31/25
