The owner hired new employees which are not enrolled in the company DAPI. The newly hired master was previously employed by another company and passed a chemical test within the previous six months with the previous employer but did not share the results with the new owner prior to employment. The four deckhands onboard have not completed the pre-employment drug testing prior to working in a safety sensitive position onboard. All four deckhands and the master have been working daily passenger excursion trips onboard from April 2024 to July 2024.
99 - Other › N/A - No Subsystem › Other (Safety in general)
Issued 2 July 2024

(a) Marine employers shall establish programs for the chemical testing for dangerous drugs on a random basis of crewmembers on inspected vessels who:
(1) Occupy a position, or perform the duties and functions of a position, required by the vessel's Certificate of Inspection;
(2) Perform the duties and functions of patrolmen or watchmen required by this chapter; or,
(3) Are specifically assigned the duties of warning, mustering, assembling, assisting, or controlling the movement of passengers during emergencies.
The employer hired five new employees to include a master and four deckhands. The marine employer is enrolled in a DAPI consortium. None of the five employees are enrolled in a random drug testing program.
04 - Emergency Systems › N/A - No Subsystem › Fire drills
Issued 2 July 2024
Resolved

04 - Emergency Systems › N/A - No Subsystem › Muster list
Issued 2 July 2024
Resolved
It shall be the duty of the master of any vessel subject to subchapter T regulations to prepare and post emergency checkoff lists in a conspicuous place accessible to the crew and passengers.
Except when in the judgment of the cognizant OCMI the operation of a vessel does not present one of the hazards listed, the emergency instruction placard should contain at least the applicable portions of the “Emergency Instructions” listed in § 185.25-5.
No emergency instructions were found onboard.
13 - Propulsion and Auxiliary Machinery › N/A - No Subsystem › Bilge pumping arrangements
Issued 2 July 2024
Resolved
All vessels shall be provided with bilge pumps in accordance with Table 182.25-10(a).
The portable bilge pump found onboard is not sufficient to pump the internal spaces in the event of flooding. The hose on the pump was found fractured.
13 - Propulsion and Auxiliary Machinery › N/A - No Subsystem › Bilge pumping arrangements
Issued 2 July 2024
Resolved
A submersible electric bilge pump may be used as a power bilge pump required by Table 182.520(a) only on a vessel of not more than 19.8 meters (65 feet) in length carrying not more than 49 passengers, provided that: A positive shutoff valve is installed at the hull penetration.
The portable electric bilge pump shut off valve in the port and starboard aft compartments was not operational when tested at the shell plate penetration.
11 - Life Saving Appliances › N/A - No Subsystem › Lifejackets incl. provision and disposition
Issued 2 July 2024
Resolved

(b) In addition, a number of child size life jackets equal to at least 10% of the number of persons permitted on board must be provided, or such greater number as necessary to provide a life jacket for each person being carried that is smaller than the lower size limit of the adult life jackets provided to meet this section.
Seven adult life jackets and one child life jacket failed inspection. Passenger count reducted to 33 adult and 4 child. Multiple trips were logged in the vessel log book which stated that more than 5 children were onboard and the crew admitted to never adding additional child life jackets when operating on these voyages.
05 - Radio Communications › N/A - No Subsystem › VHF radio installation
Issued 2 July 2024
Resolved
A vessel must comply with the applicable requirements for any radio and Electronic Position Indicating Radiobeacon (EPIRB) installations, including the requirements for a station license and installation certificates to be issued by the Federal Communications Commission, as set forth in 47 CFR part 80.
The VHF radio is missing the antenna and the LCD screen is not legible so the operator cannot identify which channel the radio is tuned to.
13 - Propulsion and Auxiliary Machinery › N/A - No Subsystem › Gauges, thermometers, etc
Issued 2 July 2024
Resolved
Gauges to indicate engine revolutions per minute (RPM), jacket water discharge temperature, and lubricating oil pressure must be provided for all propulsion engines installed in the vessel. The gauges must be readily visible at the operating station.
New outboards were installed after 1996. New subchapter T regulations are applicable. The YAMAHA LCD engine gauge screens are blacked out and are not legible. No gauges can be seen by the operator.
99 - Other › N/A - No Subsystem › Other (Safety in general)
Issued 2 July 2024
Resolved
A vessel must carry either a first-aid kit that meets the requirements in 46 CFR 199.175(b)(10) or a kit with equivalent contents and instructions. For equivalent kits, the contents must be stowed in a suitable, watertight container that is marked “First-Aid Kit”. A first-aid kit must be easily visible and readily available to the crew.
The first aid kit onboard does not comply with ISO 18813:2006(e).
11 - Life Saving Appliances › N/A - No Subsystem › Other (life saving)
Issued 2 July 2024
Resolved
A vessel of not more than 19.8 meters (65 feet) in length is not required to carry a rescue boat unless:
(1) The vessel carries passengers on an open or partially enclosed deck; and
(2) The cognizant OCMI determines that the vessel is designed, arranged, or involved in operations so that the vessel itself cannot serve as an adequate rescue craft.
This vessel can be used to serve as an adequate rescue craft if a rescue ladder is used. The rescue ladder does not have a sufficient platform for the crew member to stabilized themselves when rescueing a person. Provide a platform at the bottom of the ladder so that crew can use this in a rescue.
11 - Life Saving Appliances › N/A - No Subsystem › Lifebuoys incl. provision and disposition
Issued 2 July 2024
Resolved
A vessel must have one or more ring life buoys as follows: A vessel of more than 7.9 meters (26 feet) in length, but not more than 19.8 meters (65 feet), must carry a minimum of one life buoy of not less than 610 millimeters (24 inches) in diameter. At least one ring life buoy must be fitted with a lifeline. If more than one ring life buoy is carried, at least one must not have a lifeline attached. Each lifeline on a ring life buoy must:
(1) Be buoyant;
(2) Be of at least 18.3 meters (60 feet) in length;
(3) Be non-kinking;
(4) Have a diameter of at least 7.9 millimeters ( 5/16 inch);
(5) Have a breaking strength of at least 5 kilonewtons (1,124 pounds); and
(6) Be of a dark color if synthetic, or of a type certified to be resistant to deterioration from ultraviolet light.
A vessel must carry one floating waterlight, unless it is limited to daytime operation, in which case no floating waterlight is required.
(1) Each floating waterlight must be approved in accordance with § 161.010 in subchapter Q of this chapter, or other standard specified by the Commandant, including, but not limited to, approval series 160.110.
(2) Each ring life buoy with a floating waterlight must have a lanyard of at least 910 millimeters (3 feet) in length, but not more than 1,830 millimeters (6 feet), securing the waterlight around the body of the ring life buoy.
(3) Each floating waterlight installed after March 11, 1997, on a vessel carrying only one ring buoy, must be attached to the lanyard with a corrosion-resistant clip.
