DOORS FITTED IN BOUNDARY BULKHEADS OF MACHINERY SPACES OF CATEGRY A SHALL BE REASONABLY GASTIGHT AND SELF-CLOSING. PSCO OBSERVED 02 CLASS A FIRE DOORS THAT ARE NOT SELF-CLOSING, ONE WITH SELF-CLOSING DEVICE THAT IS NOT WORKING AND THE OTHER MISSING ANY DEVICE.

The company and the ship shall comply with the requirements of the International Safety Management code. For the purpose of this regulation, the requirements of the code shall be treated as mandatory. 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 which may be established by the company. In meeting with the requirements, the company should ensure that any nonconformity is reported, with possible cause, if known. The nature of the below deficiencies provides objective evidence of serious failure of the implementation of the ISM Code. The nonconformities observed by CG PSCO on the main engine and generator systems are not accurately reflected on the vessel procedures for rectifying deficiencies on board. The SMS deficiency log for the crew to use was not being updated by the crew. A safety management audit carried out by the administration or the RO, with a corresponding report of findings satisfactory to the OCMI must be submitted prior to clearance of this deficiency and release from detention. 74 SOLAS (20) IX/ 3.1 ISM CODE PART A/ 10.1 30abc

In a ship in which oil fuel is used, the arrangements for the storage, distribution and utilization of the oil fuel shall be such as to ensure the safety of the ship and persons on board. PSCO observed fuel oil leaking from the main engine leading to excessive pooling of fuel oil underneath engine. The #5 high pressure fuel pump was disclosed by crew to have begun leaking MGO during change over-procedures into ECA zone. Diesel generator #1 was observed to have a fuel pool of 4 inches inside the valve cover with the drain piping clogged. 74SOLAS97 II-2/15.2 30abc

In addition to complying with the specific provisions for fire integrity of bulkheads and decks mentioned elsewhere in this part, the minimum fire integrity of bulkheads and decks shall be prescribed in tables 44.1. PSCO observed a through-hole of approximate 1 foot in diameter above an A-60 boundary door in a machinery space leading to a service space. 74 SOLAS 97 II-2/44 30abc

The fire resistance of doors shall, as far as practicable, be equivalent to that of the division in which they are fitted. Doors framed in "A" class divisions shall be constructed of steel. PSCO observed 8 fire doors throughout the engine room that did not meet the requirements of an "A" class division and were incapable of self closing. In addition, within the bosun stores a class "A" door was found to be missing its lock, creating a through-hole and compromising the integrity of the door. 74SOLAS97 II-2/47.1 30abc

The inflatable rescue boat shall be maintained at all times in a fully inflated condition. PSCO observed the rescue boat not fully inflated in a ready position due to the lashing and under pressurization of the rescue boat. 74SOLAS97 III/47.3.11 17ac

Two means of escape shall be provided from each machinery space. PSCO observed one of the escape route ladders to be covered in hydraulic oil pooling in the base deck, as well as the rescue rope being oil soaked. 74SOLAS97 II-2/28.3.1 17ac

EVERY SHIP SHALL BE PROVIDED WITH A SATELLITE EMERGENCY POSITION INDICATING RADIO BEACON WHICH SHALL BE CAPABLE OF FLOATING FREE IF THE SHIP SINKS. PSCO OBSERVED EPIRB HRU WAS MARKED FOR LIFE RAFT USE ONLY. 74 SOLAS (20) IV 7.1.6.4

Whenever an accident occurs to a ship or defect is discovered which affects the completeness of its equipment covered by this annex the Master or owner of the ship shall report at the earliest opportunity to the administration, the recognized organization, or the nominated surveyor, who shall cause investigations to be initiated to determine whether a survey as required by paragraph 1 of this regulation is necessary. The vessel's incinerator listed on the IOPP certificate as an approved means of sludge disposal has been non operational for an extended period of time. No condition of class has been issued for this condition. MARPOL 73/78 I/6.4.3 17ac

The ORB part I shall be completed on each occasion in accordance with appendix III of MARPOL Annex I. Based upon statements made by engineering crewmembers, a manual transfer of an unspecified amount of liquid from the bilge holding tank to the 6.4 aft peak tank occurred on or about 30DEC18. PSCO did not identify a corresponding entry in the ORB. MARPOL 73/78 I/17 Action code changed from 17ac to 17bc

The ORB Part I shall be completed on each occasion IAW apppendix III of MARPOL Annex I. On 28FEB19 PSCO discovered two approx 55 gallon drums, filled with an oily water sludge mixture, in the engine room aft workshop. PSCO was informed this mixture was removed from the bilge holding tank. No entry was made in the ORB for this transfer. MARPOL 73/78 I/17 Action code changed from 17ac to 17bc

Oil filtering equipment required by MARPOL Annex I/14 shall ensure that any oily mixture discharged into the sea after passing through the system has an oil content not exceeding 15ppm. The vessel's class society's survey report, issued in response to defeciency 01 dated 21FEB19 indictes the OWS was tested with fresh water. Therefore, the test used to rectify deficiecy 01 is not a truly representative test of the OWS ability to reduce the oil content in the effluent to not more than 15ppm as specified in IMO resolution A.393(x) MARPOL I/14 50ac

The Master, owner, operator, agent, or person in charge of any vessel equipped with Ballast Water tanks that operates in the waters of the UNited States must maintain a Ballast Water Management plan (BWMP) that has been developed specifically for the vessel and that will allow those responsible for the plan's inplementation to understand and follow the vessel's BWM strategy. The vessele's approved BWMP requires relevant deballasting operations to include place, time, quantity of ballast and salinity. Additionally, the BWMP requires relevent deballasting details to be recorded in the logbook. The BWMP's required daily soundings recorded in the vessels "soundings record book" indicate an approximate 85 cubic meters rise in the 6.4 aft peak tank on December 30, 2018. Again, on December 31, 2018, the record book indicates a decrease in the same tank of approximatley 91 cubic meters. The vessels ballast water record book and the deck log do not contain entries for ballasting the 6.4 aft peak tank on December 30, 2018 or for deballasting the same tank on December 31, 2018. 33 CFR 151.2050

74 SOLAS (2004) II-1/3-1 Ships shall be designed, constructed and maintained in compliance with the structural, mechanical and electrical requirements of a classification society which is recognized by the administration in accordance with the provisions of Regulation XI/1, or with applicable national standards of the administration which provide an equivalent level of safety. THE VESSEL HAS EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE DAMAGES COMPROMISING THE VESSEL'S WATERTIGHT INTEGRITY, INCLUDING A BREACH IN THE VESSEL'S HULL BELOW THE WATERLINE AND DAMAGES TO THE VESSEL'S HAWSEPIPE AND ANCHOR CHAIN LOCKER, ALL OF WHICH HAVE BEEN SUBJECTED TO UNAPPROVED TEMPORARY REPAIRS BY MEANS OF DOUBLER PLATES. 17ac

Oil filtering equipment shall be of a design aproved by the Administration and shall be such as will ensure that any oily mixture discharged into the sea after passing through the system has an oil content not exceeding 15ppm. Upon conducting operational test of the oily water separator in accordance with procedures outlined in Marine Safety Manual Vol. II, the effluent being processed was registering out of range (EE)/oil content too high on the oil content meter. The system was ran by the crew intermittently for over an hour, and at no time could the system produce an effluent below 15ppm. MARPOL 73/78 I/14.6

The arrangement on board ship for the extraction of samples from the 15ppm bilge separator discharge line to the 15ppm bilge alarm should give a truly representative sample of the effluent with adequate pressure and flow. The oil content data log indicates 0ppm being detected for the entirety of the operations during the last 3 uses of the oily water separator, most recently being 14Feb19 (7 days ago). The PSCO calls into question the validity of the sample being provided to the OCM and/or measurement of such sample by the OCM. MARPOL 73/78 I/14.6; MEPC 107(49)6.2.2

The company should establish procedures, plans, and instructions, including checklists as appropiate for key shipboard operations concerning protection of the enviroment. PSCO observed the OWS could not produce an effluent below 15ppm. Upon internal inspection of the OWS, PSCO found the coalescer/filters heavily soiled, potentially rendering the system inoperable. The vessel does not have detailed procedures and schedule for the inspection and/or cleaning of the OWS coalescer/filter elements. 74SOLAS(2014) IX/3.1; ISM Code A/7 50ac

The company should establish procedures, plans, and instuctions, including checklist as appropiate for key shipboard operations concerning protection of the enviroment. Current shipboard procedures do not outline routine maintenance of the OWS. Due to PSCO's observations, an audit of the vessel's SMS by the certificate issuing authority is recommended to be completed within 30 days. Provide determination regarding completion of the audit to the USCG prior to departure from port. 74SOLAS(2014) IX/3.1; ISM Code A/12.1 17ac

Each operating should be fully recorded without delay in the ORB part I, so that all entries in the book appropiate to that operation are completed. It was observed that on 30Dec18, a discharge of 23 cubic meters of bilge water was discharged from the bilge holding tank through the OWS. A review of the sounding logs showing the bilge holding tank was sounded at 31.2 cubic meters on that day and had 0 cubic meters remaining on 31Dec18 MARPOL 73/78 1/17.4; 33 CFR 151.25

The company should establish procedures, plans, and instuctions, including checklists, as appropiate, for key shipboard operations concerning the safety of personnel, ship, and protection of the enviroment. The vessel's Safety Management System directs vessel crew to follow the ship specific Ballast Water Management Plan (BWMP) for operational guidance of the vessel's management of ballast water. Based upon Deficiency 08, PSCO calls into question the vessel's implementaition of the Safety Management System with regards to the BWMP. SOLAS 74 (amd) IX/3 ISM Code A-7 40ac

The purpose of this regulation is to prevent the ignition of combustible maerials of flammable liquids. Means shall be provided to limit the accumulation of flammable vapors. PSCO observed two 55 gallon metal drums of black thick oil, with open tops, in the engine room AFT workshop. SOALS 74 amd. II-2/4.1.1
