06 - Cargo Operations Including Equipment › N/A - No Subsystem › Cargo transfer - Tankers
Issued 24 August 2018
Resolved
Each tankship with a VCS must be fitted with a vapor pressure- sensing device which activates an alarm when the device measures a pressure of not more than 90% of the lowest pressure relief valve settings in the cargo tank venting system. The ships lowest pressure relief valve setting is 700mm/ng per the ships VECS manual. The high vapour pressure alarms should be set for not more than 90% of 700mm/ng, or 630mm/ng. The ships vapour alarm is set for 1260mm/ng, as listed on the ship generated instruction posted in the cargo control room. *Rectify prior to cargo operations*
Action required: 17 - Rectify deficiencies prior to departure
Resolved 28 August 2018
Resolution: Ships alarm set to 630 mm/ng. Verified by class and CG.
06 - Cargo Operations Including Equipment › N/A - No Subsystem › Cargo transfer - Tankers
Issued 24 August 2018
Resolved
The venting arrangements shall be so designed and operated as to ensure that neither pressure nor vacuum in cargo tanks shall exceed design parameters. The vessels VECS manual requires the ships cargo tanks to be protected from over pressure by pressure relief valves set at 700mm/ng. The ships crew have bypassed all individual P/V valves and have the common vapour pressure relief running to a breather valve at the mast riser set to 1100mm/ng *rectify prior to cargo operations*
Action required: 17 - Rectify deficiencies prior to departure
Resolved 28 August 2018
Resolution: Vessel fixed arrangements so P/V valves were no longer bypassed. rectified to satisfaction of class and CG
06 - Cargo Operations Including Equipment › N/A - No Subsystem › Cargo operation
Issued 24 August 2018
Resolved
The venting system shall be provided with devices to prevent the passage of flame into the cargo tanks. The vessels cargo tank P/V vents & ballast tank vents are not fitted with appropiate flame screens.
Cargo tanks P/V vents: Slops (P&S), 7S, 6(P&S), 5(P&S), 4(P&S), 3(P&S), 2(P&S), 1S.
Wing ballast tanks vents: All except for 1 vent on 4S
*Rectify prior to cargo operations*
Action required: 17 - Rectify deficiencies prior to departure
Resolved 28 August 2018
Resolution: Vessel replaced all flame screens with proper material. Rectified to satisfaction of class and CG
07 - Fire Safety › N/A - No Subsystem › Ready availability of fire fighting equipment
Issued 24 August 2018
Resolved
PSCO observed missing variable nozzles at 02 fire stations and missing spanner wrenches at 03 fire stations. *Rectify prior to cargo ops.
Condition: Improper/Lack of Maintenance
Action required: 17 - Rectify deficiencies prior to departure
Resolved 28 August 2018
Resolution: replaced to the satisfaction of class and CG
06 - Cargo Operations Including Equipment › N/A - No Subsystem › Cargo operation
Issued 24 August 2018
Resolved
PSCO observed 07 starboard tank gauging port leaking cargo vapors to the atmosphere. 07 starboard gauging port’s stop valve was defective. *Rectify prior to cargo ops.
Condition: Improper/Lack of Maintenance
Action required: 17 - Rectify deficiencies prior to departure
Resolved 28 August 2018
Resolution: Vessel repaired valve to satisfaction of Class and CG
07 - Fire Safety › N/A - No Subsystem › Fixed fire extinguishing installation
Issued 24 August 2018
Resolved
The high expansion foam concentrate storage tank has ship-generated instructions posted that conflict with the manufacturers instructions posted at the activation panel. Specifically the ships instructions require the user to activate the foam liquid pump in between the systems standby and discharge modes. The manufacturers instructions do not require the manual activation of the foam supply pump prior to discharge. Additionally the sequence of steps for the starting of the emergency fire pump and placing the system into standby mode are different on the 2 sets of instructions. *Rectify prior to cargo ops.
Condition: Improper Installation
Action required: 17 - Rectify deficiencies prior to departure
Resolved 28 August 2018
Resolution: vessel removed extra set of instructions to avoid confusion to satisfaction of class and CG
06 - Cargo Operations Including Equipment › N/A - No Subsystem › Cargo transfer - Tankers
Issued 24 August 2018
No resolution recorded
Vessel has not conducted 1.5 times MAWP test in over 3 years. Vessel shall be limited to maximum pressure of 9.9kg/cm2 until a 1.5 times MAWP test is conducted.
Condition: Improper/Lack of Maintenance
Action required: 40 - Rectify deficiencies prior to next US port after sailing foreign
06 - Cargo Operations Including Equipment › N/A - No Subsystem › Cargo transfer - Tankers
Issued 24 August 2018
Resolved
Vessel did not have MAWP marked; instead had test pressure marked on piping. *Rectify prior to cargo ops.
Condition: Improper Installation
Action required: 17 - Rectify deficiencies prior to departure
Resolved 28 August 2018
Resolution: Vessel removed test pressure and replaced with MAWP on the cargo pipes to the satisfaction of class and CG.
