For the purpose of flexibility only, flexible hose installed in lengths of not more than 760 millimeters (30 inches) and subject to pressures of not more than 35 kPa (5 psig), may meet the following requirements:Flexible hose designed for use with hose clamps may be installed with two clamps, at both ends of the hose, which do not rely on the spring tension of the clamp for compressive force; and are installed beyond the bead or flare or over the serrations of the mating spud, pipe, or hose fitting; and USCG Type A1, A2, B1, or B2 flexible hose may be accepted in accordance with 33 CFR part 183, subpart J. MI found improper fuel hoses on both generators. 46 CFR 182.720(e)

A vessel is inspected for compliance with the standards required by this subchapter. Machinery, equipment, materials, and arrangements not covered by standards in this subchapter may be inspected in accordance with standards acceptable to the cognizant OCMI as good marine practice. MI found that both compressed air pressure vessels(30 gallons each) state that they require pressure relief devices and none were installed. 46 CFR 176.800(a)

Except as allowed by paragraph (b) of this section, each vessel certificated to operate on a Great Lakes route must be provided with the survival craft required by § 180.205 (a) through (e), as appropriate. Vessel is missing a IBA due to servicing. 46 CFR 180.206(a)

Gauges to indicate engine revolutions per minute (RPM), jacket water discharge temperature, and lubricating oil pressure must be provided for all propulsion engines installed in the vessel. The gauges must be readily visible at the operating station. Jacket water temperature gauges did not appear to be working for the port main engine. 46 CFR 182.410(b)

The master and crew of a vessel will be familiar with the content of and have mounted at the operating station, emergency instructions containing the actions to be taken in the event of fire, heavy weather, or man overboard conditions.

The construction and arrangement of a vessel must allow the safe operation of the vessel in accordance with the terms of its Certificate of Inspection giving consideration to provisions for a seaworthy hull, protection against fire, means of escape in case of a sudden unexpected casualty, guards and rails in hazardous places, ventilation of enclosed spaces, and necessary facilities for passengers and crew. Vessel has a hole on the lower port bulkhead of the women’s restroom. 46 CFR 177.100

Remote fuel shutoff stations shall be marked in at least 1-inch letters indicating purpose of the valve and direction of operation. Vessel’s fuel shutoff valves are missing required markings. 46 CFR 185.30-20

All Machinery and equipment must be installed and maintained in such a manner as to afford adequate protection from causing fire, explosion, machinery failurem and personal injury. Vessels 03 CAT engines had holdbacks or deleted air shutoff solenoids preventing closure of air to vessel in the event off overspeed or runaway. Renew/replace and verify proper operation for CG MI's.

All vessels shall be provided with a satisfactory arrangement for draining any watertight compartment other than small buoyancy compartments, under all practical conditions. Vessel unable to correctly arrange valves to drain forepeak during inspection. 46 CFR 182.500

Provide a means to attach watertight hatch covers to the vessel by means of hinges, captive chains, or other device to prevent its loss.

Provide exhaust lagging for center diesel engine.

Fuel leak discovered at rigid fuel line b-nut/fitting on port diesel engine. Make repairs to ensure leak free.

Determine cause of oil leak on STBD diesel engine and make permanent repairs as required. Remove all temporary repairs in way of JB Weld type compound in location of oil leak. Currently leakage of approximately 25 drops per minute.

A 5' linear section of the watertight transverse bulkhead in the stbd-side bow thruster room is damaged and detached at it's intersection with the bottom plating. The structural and watertight integrity of this bulkhead is compromised. Crop and renew, as original, this damaged section of bulkhead IAW 46 CFR 176.802.

There is a wasted floor frame immediately under the deck-hatch of the void space aft of the fuel room void. Crop and renew wasted floor frame as original IAW 46 CFR 176.802.

There is a vertical stiffener IWO the void space aft of the fuel room that is detached from the side shell at multiple stitch welds. Reattach stiffener as original IAW 46 CFR 176.802.
