To the satisfaction of an attending CG Marine Inspector.

A survey either general or partial, according to the circumstances, shall be made every time an accident occurs or a defect is discovered which affects the safety of the vessel or the efficacy of completeness of its life-saving appliances, fire-fighting or other equipment, or whenever any important repairs or renewals are made. The survey shall be such as to insure that the necessary repairs or renewals have been effectively made, that the materials and the workmanship of such repairs or renewals are in all respects satisfactory, and that the vessel complies in all respects with the regulations of this subchapter. The stern thruster electric motor experienced an electrical short causing a small electrical fire.

The Engine Order Telegraph (EOT) system does not fully operate as designed. The EOT was manufactured in the 1940s and parts and replacements in kind are no longer options. The EOT does send signals in both directions and it can be utilized in an emergency if needed. However, the synchro drifts and though the order for position sent from the bridge can be seen and acknowledged in the engine room the dial drifts slightly and the wrong direction alarm buzzer sounds constantly unless the operator in the ER keeps adjusting the dial. Submit a plan to MSD Sturgeon Bay to replace the EOT or fix it within 30 days. Other means to send engine orders on board were verified and the EOT can still be used but it may not remain in continued service and must ultimately be replaced.
