The system should be capable of covering all areas mentioned in 11.3.1 with a uniform distributed water spray of at least 10 cubic meters per minute for horizontal surfaces and 4 cubic meters per minute for vertical services. Deck spray nozzles for cargo pump motor room vertical surface did not provide a uniformly distributed water-spray to cover this area of the vessel.

Where operational or structural requirements are such as to make it impossible to comply with the method described in 10.2.4.2, motors of the following certified safety types may be installed of increased safety type with flameproof enclosure. Cargo pump junction boxes on tanks 2 port and starboard and 3 starboard are using red sealant to make gas tight. -SOLAS74(20 Amend) Chapter VII/Reg. 12 IGC93 ed. 10.2.4.3.1

The system should be capable of covering all areas mentioned in 11.3.1 with a uniform distribution water spray of at least 10L/m^2 per minute. 12 deck spray nozzles were plugged or did not provide a uniform distributed spray. -SOLAS74(20 Amend) Chapter VII/Reg. 12 IGC93 ed. 11.3.2

The condition of the ship and its equipment shall be maintained to conform with the provision of the present convention. Incinerator door had excessive deterioration on the steel plate and insulation. -73/78MARPOL(2017) ANNEX 1 Reg. 6.4.1

Install and operate a ballast water management system(BWMS) that has been approved by the Coast Guard under 46CFR Part 162. Vessel is operating from an outdated BWM tech manual. Coast Guard approval letter has version 2.6.4 dated October 13, 2018. -33CFR151.2025(a)(1)

Objective evidence discovered in an expanded ISM examination revealed the following major nonconformity: the vessel failed to fully implement the requirements of the SMS. The vessel failed to fully establish maintenance procedures to ensure the ship is maintained in conformity with the provisions of the relevant rules. This is made evident by deficiencies 02, 03, 04, and 05. Ship's maintenance records state that the gas detectors, the valves measured by the cargo control room indicators, and the deck water spray system, were tested satisfactorily by the ship's crew the day prior to this examination. Deficiency 06 shows that the vessel did not meet the requirement to provide for safe practices in ship operation and a safe working environment. Additionally, deficiency 7 shows that the management of change procedures in Section 2.2 of the SMS, which shall be applied to changes in the operational management of ships, were not properly implemented. An external audit is required.

The system should be capable of covering all areas mentioned in 11.3.1 with a uniform distributed water spray of at least 10 l/m2 per minute for horizontal surfaces and 4 l/m2 per minute for vertical services. Many deck spray nozzles were plugged or did not provide a uniform distributed water spray to cover all areas on the vessel mentioned in 11.3.1, including roughly 50% of nozzles on both cargo manifolds and the superstructure, and over 50% of nozzles over the #1 port and starboard cargo tanks.

Where electrical equipment is installed in gas-dangerous spaces or zones as provided in 10.1.4, it should be to the satisfaction of the Administration and approved by the relevant authorities recognized by the Administration for operation in the flammable atmosphere concerned. Multiple certified safe type pieces of equipment in gas-dangerous locations on deck and in the cargo compressor room have issues compromising their intrinsic safety and explosion proof properties, such as improper glands, missing nuts and bolts or improperly sized bolts preventing securing, and loose, improperly terminated electrical conductors.

Gas detection equipment should be so designed that it may readily be tested. During examination both redundant systems were inoperable, and troubleshooting and cleaning could only make two of the nine sample points operable.

The condition of the ship and its equipment should be maintained to conform with the provisions of the code to ensure the ship will remain fit to proceed to sea without danger to the ship or persons onboard. Three temperature sensors and numerous vapor and liquid line control valve remote indicators are inoperable.

Ships in which the carriage of flammable products is intended should be fitted with fixed dry chemical powder type extinguishing systems for the purpose of fighting fire on the deck in the cargo area and bow or stern cargo handling areas if applicable. The system and the dry chemical powder should be adequate for this purpose and satisfactory to the Administration. Several dry-chemical powder extinguishing systems' relief valve hand lifting devices have been wire tied shut, preventing manual activation of the relief valve.

Only the indirect system described in 7.2.4.2 should be used. The vessel’s nitrogen bottle bank, which is used for indirect cooling of propylene oxide, was removed. The vessel’s crew stated that propylene oxide would not be carried until all required equipment was reinstalled and the vessel had received flag state authorization for carriage of the cargo, but the vessel’s International Certificate of Fitness currently lists propylene oxide as a cargo the vessel is authorized to carry. Rectify prior to the carriage of propylene oxide.

Firefighting systems and appliances shall be kept in good working order and readily available for immediate use. The vessel's port side dry chemical monitor above the cargo motor room was inaccessible and not ready for immediate use. Furthermore, the port number 2 cargo tank dry chemical powder hose activation handle is not in a serviceable condition.

Provisions should be made by the use of offsets, loops, bends, mechanical expansion joints such as bellows, slip joints and ball joints or similar suitable means to protect the piping, piping system components and cargo tanks from excessive stresses due to thermal movement and from movements of the tank and hull structure. Where mechanical expansion joints are used in piping they should be held to a minimum and, where located outside the cargo tanks, should be of the bellows type. The mechanical expansion joints on top of the number 1, 2, and 3 port and starboard cargo tanks were found to be missing hardware and unevenly tightened.

After any survey of the ship under 1.5.2 has been completed, no change should be made in the structure, equipment, fittings, arrangements and material covered by the survey without the sanction of the Administration, except by direct replacement. The deck tank cargo vapor to mast riser valve's hydraulic actuator has been removed and the starboard number 2 cargo tank upper spray rails system's pneumatic activation line has been cut and is inoperable.

Where pumps and compressors are driven by shafting passing through a bulkhead or deck, gastight seals with efficient lubrication or other means of ensuring the permanence of the gas tight seal should be fitted in way of the bulkhead or deck. The #1 compressor's gastight seal is worn and weeping hydraulic oil.

In fire doors in main vertical zone bulkheads, galley boundaries and stairway enclosures other than power-operated watertight doors and those which are normally locked, hold back hooks not subject to central control station release are prohibited. A galley "A Class" door was found tied back in the open position with a rope.

Cylinders must always be stowed in a rack in an upright position, with the valve protection cap in place. Six cylinders were found tied with a rope directly on the deck in the aft cylinder storage area.

Each separate circuit shall be protected against short circuit and against overload, except as permitted in regulations 29 and 30 or where the Administration may exceptionally otherwise permit. Twenty-two circuit breakers, located on circuit breaker panel in integrated bridge control panels, taped in the closed (on) position, overriding the circuit protection provided by the breakers.

The condition of the ship and its equipment shall be maintained to conform with the provisions of the present regulations to ensure that the ship in all respects will remain fit to proceed to sea without danger to the ship or persons onboard. The lighting for the trunk leading to the emergency fire pump space and the lighting in the emergency fire pump space is not operational.

6199 – The condition of the ship and its equipment shall be maintained to conform with the provisions of the present regulation to ensure that the ship in all respects will remain fit to proceed to sea without danger to the ship or persons on board. PSCO observed that the vessel’s port side cargo heat exchanger was leaking product. Vessel restricted from using port side heat exchanger until source of discharge is corrected to the satisfaction of class. 74 SOLAS (14) I/11
