This vessel sustained catastrophic structural damage as a result of Typhoon Sinlaku (April 2026), indcluding forcible separation of all four outboard engines from the transom, structural failure to both hulls, and partial submersion on the starboard side with the port side aground.

The number and identification of the items stowed inside, and their sizes, must be marked in clearly legible letters and numbers on each container for life jackets and immersion suits. Identification of the items may be in words, or the appropriate symbols in IMO Resolution A.760(18) (incorporated by reference; see 46 CFR 175.600). Letters and numbers must be at least 50 millimeters (2 inches) high. Symbols must be at least 100 mm (4 inches) square. The child life jackets were moved to a different compartment.

Each vessel that relies on electricity to power the following loads must be arranged so that the loads can be energized from two sources of electricity: (i) The vital systems listed in § 182.710 of this chapter; (ii) Interior lighting except for decorative lights; (iii) Communication systems including a public address system required under § 184.610 of this chapter; and (iv) Navigation equipment and lights. A vessel with batteries of adequate capacity to supply the loads specified in paragraph (a)(1) of this section for three hours, and a generator or alternator driven by a propulsion engine, complies with the requirement in paragraph (a)(1) of this section. The following vital systems: VHF radio, navigation lights, and high water alarms are powered by a single 12 V battery with no second source of power. The electric bilge pump (vital system) for each hull is powered by a single battery power source and inverter with no second source of power. 46 CFR 183.310

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, other than a ferry, provided that: (1) The pump is listed by an independent laboratory as meeting the requirements in UL 1113 (incorporated by reference; see 46 CFR 175.600); The vessel is greater than 65 feet and carries more than 49 passengers. Two electric submersible bilge pumps were found in the forward void in each hull. The original bilge piping approved diagram shows that a fixed bilge piping system was originally installed in these spaces. 46 CFR 182.520(e)

All vessels must have navigation lights that are in compliance with the applicable sections of the International and Inland Navigation Rules, except that a vessel of more than 19.8 meters (65 feet) in length must also have navigation lights that meet UL 1104, “Standards for Marine Navigation Lights,” or other standard specified by the Commandant. The starboard running light housing was found fractured. 46 CFR 183.420

At each inspection for certification and at every other vessel inspection all observed unsafe practices, fire hazards, and other hazardous situations must be corrected and all required guards and protective devices must be in satisfactory condition.

Conductors in power and lighting circuits must be No. 14 American Wire Gauge (AWG) or larger. Conductors in control and indicator circuits must be No. 22 AWG or larger. 16 AWG conductors were found intstalled throughout the vessel in power and lighting circuits. 46 CFR 183.340(c)

Overcurrent protection must be provided for each ungrounded conductor for the purpose of opening the electric circuit if the current reaches a value that causes an excessive or dangerous temperature in the conductor or conductor insulation. Fuses must be of the cartridge type only and be listed by Underwriters Laboratories or another independent laboratory recognized by the Commandant. Each circuit breaker must meet UL 489 (incorporated by reference; see 46 CFR 175.600) or other standard specified by the Commandant. There is no DC primary overcurrent protection on the battery located under the center console used to power the VHF, stereo, navigation lights, and electric bilge pumps located in the fwd void. There is also missing DC overcurrent branch protection for the remaining circuit under the console. There is incorrect primary overcurrent protection (ANL fuse not UL listed) between the batteries and inverters. There is no AC overcurrent protection for the branch circuit after the inverters which power the bilge pumps and AC outlets. 46 CFR 183.380

An emergency switch must be provided in the normally ungrounded main supply conductor from a battery. The switch must be accessible and located as close to the battery as practicable. Disconnect means must be provided on the supply side of and adjacent to all fuses for the purpose of de-energizing the fuses for inspection and maintenance purposes. The battery under the center console does not have a battery switch installed on the supply side of the fuse. 46 CFR 183.380(j)

When the cognizant OCMI or the Commanding Officer, Marine Safety Center determines, in accordance with § 178.210, that a vessel must have stability details indicated on its Certificate of Inspection or a stability letter, the owner or operator must submit the information listed in paragraph (b) of this section. A vessel's lightship characteristics form the foundation for calculations that demonstrate its compliance with applicable stability requirements. Changes to a vessel, through the addition, removal, or relocation of items which are included as a part of the vessel's lightship, could jeopardize the accuracy of the lightship characteristics. The MSC will determine whether calculations alone are sufficient, in lieu of a stability test or deadweight survey, based on the accuracy of the calculations and/or the application of appropriate conservative assumptions in vertical center of gravity (VCG). In making this determination, the MSC will consider the summation of all weight changes that have been made since the last stability test. The owner removed two generators previously installed in the vessel after the 2011 stability test. Submit all weight changes to the MSC in accordance with MTN 04-95 Ch-2. Extended deficiency to December 1, 2024 while waiting on calculations from the Naval Architect. (10/7/2024 [name withheld]) 46 CFR 178.230

Each portable fire extinguisher on a vessel must be of an approved type. The minimum number of portable fire extinguishers required on a vessel must be acceptable to the cognizant Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection, but must not be fewer than the minimum number required by Table 181.500(b) and other provisions of this section. The vessel has an approved OCMI special consideration from Sector Guam in December 26, 1997 to permit a gasoline powered trash pump to be onboard as a primary fire pump. The approval letter requires an addtional two 40 B:C portable fire extinguishers to be onboard. 46 CFR 181.500(a)

A vessel of more than 19.8 meters (65 feet) in length must carry at least one rescue boat unless the cognizant OCMI determines that: (1) The vessel is sufficiently maneuverable, arranged, and equipped to allow the crew to recover a helpless person from the water; (2) Recovery of a helpless person can be observed from the operating station; and (3) The vessel does not regularly engage in operations that restrict its maneuverability. The vessel acts as its own rescue boat and the crew use a rescue ladder to recover persons overboard. The rescue ladder is not equipped with a platform at the bottom. The crew must hold the ladder with one hand and retrieve the person overboard with the other while balancing on a ladder rung. Provide a platform at the bottom of the rescue ladder. 46 CFR 180.210
