46 CFR 111.10-3 Power Supply. In addition to the emergency power sources required under part 112 of this chapter, each self-propelled vessel and each mobile offshore drilling unit must have at least two electric generating sources. Currently the SSDG's on board are not operating properly and cannot be paralleled either automatically or manually. Make repairs to the operation of these three SSDG's so the parallel operation is working properly. Prior to the vessel getting underway with passengers.

46CFR 113.40-5 General requirements. The position of the rudder, if power-operated, must be shown at the principal steering station. If there is non-follow-up steering control at the alternative steering station, there must be a separate rudder angle indicator system for that station that is electrically independent from each other rudder angle indicator system. Currently the rudder angle indicators are not operating properly, make repairs to the indicators prior to getting the vessel underway with passengers.

The dampers shall be so designed as to close against the anticipated draft in the duct. The damper shall be made accessible for periodic inspection by means of a hinged or bolted plate in the duct. The damper and the portion of duct containing the damper shall be constructed of at least 1/8 inch steel plate suitably stiffened. No insulation need be applied to the damper blade.

Currently the side shell fire door midship on the 2nd deck PORT side has been damaged and is not able to be closed or operated properly. Prior to operating the vessel with passengers, make proper repairs to the damaged fire door so it is closed and maintains the fire boundary. Since this door is only used while moored at the Hilton Docking facility and not used under way as an egress route the door may be made tight in a non operational way until a new door can be installed. Contact Tom Alho at [phone withheld] for proposed correction to this problem and it must be corrected prior to the carriage of passengers.

Currently the STBD main engine thruster control transducer is bad and will not allow pilot house control for this engine. The current module is obsolete and will have to be manufactured or a modification to the system installed. To be determined by cost of each. Prior to getting the vessel underway.

. Currently the EDG switchboard breaker for the emergency fire pump trips immediately after the pump is energized when on the emergency source of power. Correct this issue and provide demonstration to the USCG. Prior to getting vessel underway.
