[withheld — contains personal information; the deficiency system, dates, and resolution status are shown above]

The owner or operator must conduct all tests as required by the OCMI, and make the vessel available for all specific inspections and drills required by subpart H of this part. In addition, the OCMI may require the vessel to get underway. Due to safety concerns in regards to deficiency items 1-3, underway drills and DVTP's were not observed by the attending [name withheld] and underway drills in the presence of MI prior to carrying passengers.

The main steering gear and rudder stock must be capable of moving the rudder from 35 degrees on either side to 35 degrees on the other with the vessel at its deepest loadline draft and running at maximum ahead service speed. While underway with passengers to Salem, vessel reported a loss of maneuverability as steering gear froze in the hard over port position, preventing the vessel from safely maneuvering. Once repairs are affected, prepare and have vessel ready to perform sea trials to the satisfaction of attending Marine Inspector. 46 CFR 58.25(b)2

Propulsion machinery must be capable of operating at constant marine load. Vessel experienced a loss of propulsion of the starboard engine. Affect necessary repairs and conduct satisfactory sea trial in presence of Marine Inspector.

Each battery must be located as high above the bilge as practicable, secured to protect against shifting with the roll and pitch of the vessel, and free from exposure to water splash or spray. Battery covers were not properly secured.

An inspection for renewal of a Certificate of Inspection is conducted to determine if the vessel is in satisfactory condition, fit for the service intended, and complies with all applicable regulations. It normally includes inspection and testing of the structure, machinery, equipment, and on a sailing vessel, rigging and sails. During vessel's annual inspection, Marine inspector noticed pitting in the forward transverse bulkhead in Port Lazarette. Vessel shall address pitting at next scheduled drydock examination.

A fire control plan must be posted on the vessel in a location that is accessible and visible to all passengers. The plan must show escape routes, areas of refuge, embarkation stations, the location of fire protection/emergency equipment, compartment titles and hazard classification of accommodation and service spaces, and structural fire protection boundaries. IAW 46 CFR 116.202 the owner shall submit for approval to the Marine Safety Center, three copies of the following plan, to Marine Safety Center: Structural fire protection details. Post approved fire control plan prior to carrying passengers.

On a vessel without overnight accommodations, or with overnight accommodations for not more than 49 passengers, the fire pump must be capable of delivering a single hose stream from the highest hydrant, through the hose and nozzle required by § 118.320 of this part, at a pitot tube pressure of 345 kPa (50 psi). Unable to demonstrate requirement, due to frozen pipes. Demonstrate 50 psi from the highest hydrant, prior to carrying passengers.

Each vessel must be provided with bilge pumps in accordance with 46 CFR 56.50-55, which states: each hull of a vessel with more than one hull must have at least two means for pumping the bilges in each hull. The port side bilge pump was unable to pump a starboard void space. Vessel cannot carry any passengers until proper operation of the bilge pump and cross connect are verified.

Except as allowed by paragraphs (b),(c) and(d) of this section, each vessel certificated to operate on a limited coastwise route shall be provided with the survival craft required by §§ 117.204 (a) through (d) of this part, as applicable. All of the vessel's IBAs were removed for annual servicing. Vessel is limited to a route within one mile from shore until the IBAs are re-installed onboard to the satisfaction of the OCMI.

A vessel must carry either a first-aid kit approved under approval series 160.041 or a kit with equivalent contents and instructions. For equivalent kits, the contents must be stowed in a suitable, watertight container that is marked “First-Aid Kit”. A first-aid kit must be easily visible and readily available to the crew. First- Aid kit medications were expired.

Each vessel must be equipped with at least two operable portable battery lights. One of these lights must be located at the operating station and the other at the access to the propulsion machinery space.
