The company should establish procedures, plans, and instructions, including checklists as appropriate, for key shipboard operations concerning the safety of the personnel, ship, and protection of the environment. As evidenced by deficiencies 01 through 05, the company has not established procedures or checklists to ensure that the cargo deck area is free of electrical hazards prior to cargo operations. External audit is recommended. SOLAS 74 (2020 Cons.) IX/3.1 – ISM Code 7 – 17 a/c

Each operation described in paragraph 2 of this regulation shall be fully recorded without delay in the Oil Record Book Part 1, so that all entries in the book appropriate to that operation are completed. PSCOs observed multiple factual inaccuracies in ORB Part 1 entries. For example, last weekly soundings in ORB, conducted on 07MAY2019, list the tank volumes as follows: fuel oil sludge tank 6.1 cubic meters, separator sludge tank 9.0 cubic meters, incinerator waste oil tank 0.0 cubic meters, and bilge holding tank 6.1 cubic meters. During tour of engine room on 07MAY2019, PSCO noted that incinerator waste oil tank was approximately 1/3 full. C/E subsequently transferred this sludge to fuel oil sludge tank and PSCOs observed the following soundings on 07MAY2019: fuel oil sludge tank 7.53 cubic meters, separator sludge tank 8.32 cubic meters, and bilge holding tank 7.13 cubic meters. Additionally, the engine logbook shows the OWS as operated on 17MAR2019 from 0814 to 1035. There is no entry in the ORB for the OWS being operated that day. MARPOL I/17.4 50bc

Oil residue (sludge) tank(s) shall be provided and: [.3] shall have no discharge connections to the bilge system, oily bilge water holding tank(s), tank top or oily water separators, except that: [.1] the tank(s) may be fitted with drains, with manually operated self closing valves and arrangements for subsequent visual monitoring of the settled water that lead to an oily bilge water holding tank... The incinerator waste oil/mixing tank listed on the IOPP as a oil residue (sludge) tank is not fitted with a manually operated self closing valve for the drainage of settled water leading to the bilge holding tank. MARPOL I/17.4 50bc

After any survey of the ship has been completed, no change shall be made in the structure, equipment, systems, fittings, arrangements or material covered by the survey, without the sanction of the Administration, except the direct replacement of such equipment and fittings. Incinerator waste oil mixing tank, listed on IOPP Form B section 3.1, has an approximately 1 foot long sludge drain line with a ball valve and open-ended pipe termination extending horizontally from the tank. This line is not shown on the ship's drawings (drawing number 31-703-402). MARPOL I/6.4.2 50ac

Any ship of 10,000 gross tonnage and above shall be fitted with oil filtering equipment complying with paragraph 7 of this regulation [14.2]. Oil filtering equipment shall be provided with arrangements to ensure that any discharge of oily mixtures is automatically stopped when the oil content of the effluent exceeds 15 ppm. In considering the design of such equipment and approvals, the Administration shall have regard to the specification recommended by the Organization [MEPC.60(33)]. Section 6.1.1 states that recirculating facilities should be provided to enable the oil filtering equipment to be tested with the overboard discharge closed at initial and periodic surveys. The installed system does not allow for the oil filtering equipment (OWS) to be tested with the overboard discharge closed. MARPOL I/14 50ac

1836 - Every steam pipe and every fitting connected thereto through which steam may pass shall be so designed constructed and installed as to withstand the maximum working stresses to which it may be subjected. PSCO's found two steam pipes on deck seperated and broken. Cite - 74 SOLAS (04) II-1/33 Action Taken - 40 AC

74 SOLAS (14) VII/10.1 IBC Code, 14.3.4 Suitably marked decontamination showers and an eye wash shall be available on deck in convienient locations. The showers and eye wash shall be operable in all ambient conditions. PSCO found water line connecting eye wash/shower fractured, rendering it inoperable. Vessel is restricted from chemical cargo operations until deficiency is resolved.
