Rails or equivalent protection must be installed near the periphery of all decks accessible to crew. Equivalent protection may include lifelines,
wire rope, chains, and bulwarks that provide strength and support equivalent to fixed rails, OR in areas where space limitations make deck rails impractical hand grabs may be substituted. The outboard rails of the vessel were broken off due to facing wire damage and not replaced. On the port side, there is approx 10 foot gap that has no outboard rails or inboard grab rails.

Issued 23 July 2025
No resolution recorded
Policies must be in place that cover the owner or managing operator's approach for ensuring vessel compliance including, but not limited to polices on maintenance and survey, safety, the environment, security and emergency procedures. On 18JUL25, a discharge of diesel fuel into a navigable waterway occurred due to overfilling a fuel tank. As a result CG marine inspectors attended the vessel on 24JUL25 and again as a follow up on 29JUL25 and discovered a sufficient number of safety and environmental discrepancies and lack of TSMS record keeping to warrant an external vessel audit be completed by the TPO. This external audit must take place after all identified deficiencies have been corrected and prior to the vessel returning to commercial service. Audit results must be submitted to CG MSU Lake Charles upon completion.
Action required: 30 - Ship detained
