74 SOLAS IX 6.2 A ship required to hold a certificate issued pursuant to the provisions of regulation 4.3 shall be subject to control in accordance with the provisions of regulation XI/4. For this purpose such certificate shall be treated as a certificate issued under regulation I/12 or I/13. Vessel’s Safety Management Certificate has been revoked following ISM audit.

74 SOLAS 2020 II-2 14.2.1 The following fire protection systems shall be kept in good order so as to ensure their required performance if a fire occurs: fire detection and fire alarm systems. It was found that vessel’s found that cargo deck’s fire detection system was inoperable. During inspection it was discovered that the cargo fire detection system has not been working since 16 MAY 2024. The ship must maintain an hourly round among the cargo decks until the system is repaired.

Crew not included on the list described in subsection (a)(2) shall not have access to or use of the master key unless in an emergency and shall immediately notify the master and owner of the vessel following use of such key. A master key control log is not being maintained up to date onboard. Additionally, the current CGS SMS policy regarding master key control authorizes various shoreside personnel and other crew members temporary use of the master key to perform work related functions and completion of an assigned task, respectively. This is not permitted under the statute. See CVC Policy Letter 23-06 for amplifying information.

The Company should establish procedures to ensure that the ship is maintained in conformity with the provisions of the relevant rules and regulations and with any additional requirements that may be established by the Company. There are technical and operational deficiencies noted in the original inspection report/835V (dated 1/31/24, pgs. 1-20) that indicate a serious failure / lack of effectiveness of implementation of the safety management system. An external SMC audit, at least equivalent in scope to a renewal audit, is required to be carried out by the RO (ABS) prior to the vessel's departure from port.

Before the ship leaves port, all life-saving equipment shall be in working order and ready for immediate use. Primary steering for free fall lifeboat found to be inoperable during in-water test.

Any ship of >10,000 gross tons shall be fitted with oil filtering equipment, approved by the Administration, with alarm arrangements, etc. The full and proper functionality of the OWS/OCM could not be demonstrated, as the ppm could not be reduced below 35-40 when tested.

Every oil fuel pipe, which, if damaged, would allow oil to escape from a storage, settling, or daily service tank shall be fitted with a valve capable of being closed from a safe position outside the space concerned in the event of a fire occurring in the space. Proper operation of the quick closing valves for the oil system could not be demonstrated at this time. Additionally, the PSTP for testing of these valves is inaccurate when compared with the actual onboard arrangement. Prove proper operation of all quick closing valves and revise the PSTP to reflect the onboard arrangements.

The ISM Company should ensure that inspections are held at appropriate intervals and appropriate corrective action is taken. Vibration analysis and thermography was carried out in September 2023 as part of post dry-dock sea trial, with multiple serious/unsatisfactory findings noted. Additionally, a large percentage of equipment included on the report was listed as either OOC or not run, and therefore readings not taken. All items noted in need of repair to be addressed, and readings to be taken for missing items, with rectification of any new/additional findings. Provide the results of updated/new report to both ABS and CG. *UPDATE* 29 May 2024 Appropriate measure have been taken to correct outstanding items for vibration/themograpy. Once vessel activates, contractor will attend to reconduct surveys and verify corrective action. Changed from 17 to 705.

An efficient bilge piping pumping system shall be provided. The proper operation of the emergency bilge suction could not be demonstrated. No venturi effect/suction noted with the eductor running.

The ISM Company should ensure that inspections are held at appropriate intervals and appropriate corrective action is taken. The latest lube oil analysis report from Tribologik noted multiple critical conditions. Additionally, most all sampling history does not indicate a sample within the past 6 months. Appropriate action to be taken for all noted items, and oil analysis taken for missing/overdue items, with rectification of any new/additional findings. Provide the results to both ABS and CG.

Fire-fighting systems and appliances shall be kept in good working order. Multiple fire station hydrant valves found leaking by when the fire main was energized, including in shaft tunnel, steering flat (station #96), engine room (station #93), fire station 53, and fire station 26. These fire hydrant valves to be repaired or replaced, and ABS to subsequently carry out complete walkdown of fire main while energized to confirm all hydrant valves are in proper working order.

Relief valves for air receivers marked as last tested in 2018, for auxiliary boiler in 2018, and for exhaust gas boiler in 2017 (all >5 years ago). Associated work order in NSE listed as overdue by >200 days. All of these relief valves shall be tested, and proper relieving setpoints verified, to the satisfaction of the attending ABS surveyor.

The vessel does not currently hold a valid IOPP certificate. ABS removed the IOPP and issued a SOF due to onboard engine room piping arrangements not complying with the MARPOL I/12.3 requirements (see ABS finding 1205). However, holding an IOPP is mandatory for vessels enrolled in ACP and to comply with 33 CFR requirements. Make necessary modifications to piping arrangements onboard to comply with MARPOL I/12.3 amendments and regain IOPP certificate. *Update* 29 May 2024 Vessel has contracted company to complete repairs and make piping modification bilge piping. Changed from 17 to 705. Once repairs are made then deficiency will be closed.

The master, owner, operator, agent or person in charge of any vessel equipped with ballast tanks that operates in the waters of the United States must maintain a ballast water management plan that has been developed specifically for the vessel and that will allow those responsible for the plan’s implementation to understand and follow the vessel’s BWM strategy and comply with the requirements of this subpart. The vessel’s ballast water management plan available onboard at time of inspection, dated August 2013, is out-of-date / incorrect. Specifically, it states that ballast water exchange is still a permissible ballast water management method for the vessel, but for vessels such as the Cape Washington that are past the implementation schedule in 151.2035, ballast water exchange is no longer a permissible management option. Revise the ballast water management plan to the satisfaction of the CG.
