Provide evidence to show the last set point check of the steam piping relief valve located just outside the starboard enterance to the pumproom. relief valve settings must be checked twice within any 5 year period and no more than 3 years may elapse between any check and its predecessor. No evidence of this valve being tested could be provided.

The escape piping for the safety relief valve located just outside the stbd entereance to the pumproom allows the steam to be released horizontally. It appears a piece of piping was removed from the flange. Escape piping must lead as near vertically as practitable as possible.

Main cargo pump shutdown switch located at the port and stbd manifold has exposed wires due to missing packing where the wires enter the box. In weather locations electrical equipment in a class 1, div 1 must be intrinsically safe, explosion proof or purged and pressurized if within 10ft of a cargo valve. The same applies to the framo shut down on the stbd manifold.

Seven overhead lights in the pumproom are missing screws that secure the globe to the fixture. A cargo handling room must not have any electric cable or other electric equipment except intrinsically safe and explosion proof lighting fixtures.

Efficient guard rails must be fitted on all exposed parts of the super structure decks. The top handrail located near the stbd lifeboat station has broken welds.

Steam piping in the purifier room has significant leak that is covered with chem suites and rope to minimize the leak. Condition of the ship and its equipment shall be maintained to conform with the provisions of the current regulations.

The #2 SSG has significant diesel leak at the duplex strainers and drain line line leading below deck to the purifier room. Condition of the ship and its equipment shall be maintained to conform with the provisions of the current regulations.

The stbd steering pump has a significant hydraulic leak at the control valve. Condition of the ship and its equipment shall be maintained to conform with the provisions of the current regulations.
