The company should ensure that inspections are held at appropriate intervals, that appropriate corrective is taken, and records are maintained. The company conducted an internal "habitability inspection" in March 2020 and an internal audit in October 2020, both of which resulted identification of deficiencies or internal non-conformities. In addition, onboard interviews indicate that the main engine automation and alarm functionality has been an ongoing problem that has become progressively worse since February 2020. Finally, both SSDGs have had ongoing leaks fuel leaks for 2+ years as identified in multiple flag State inspections and RO surveys. Upon further review of Company SMS records, there was no objective evidence that the Company has implemented corrective actions effectively.
