CARGO CARRIED ON OR UNDER DECK SHALL BE SO LOADED, STOWED AND SECURED AS TO PREVENT AS FAR AS IS PRACTICABLE, THROUGHOUT THE VOYAGE DAMAGE OR HAZARD TO THE SHIP AND THE PERSONS ON BOARD, AND LOSS OF CARGO OVERBOARD. PSCO ATTENDED VESSEL AFTER LOST PORTABLE TANK DUE TO HEAVY WEATHER. PROCEDURES ON THE CARGO SECURING MANUAL FOR INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE WERE NOT BEING FOLLOWED.

Objective evidence discovered during an extended ISM exam revealed the following non-conformities: The vessel failed to fully implement the requirements of the ISM Code through their SMS procedures. These identified deficiencies are evidence that the ship and/or company are not meeting the SMS requirements. Recommend an external audit.The company should ensure that the policy is implemented and maintained at all levels of the organization, both ship-based and shore-based. The SMS has not been adequately implemented and maintained ashore or onboard as evidence by non-conformities being reported but no action taken by the company. On 12JAN2019, vessel reported the following 04 non-conformities to the company and have not yet been resolved: broken beams on ramp need welding, bridge water tight door not closing properly, port anchor needs to be welded to adjust crossbar, and ballast water pipe broken in engine room. Since reporting the non-conformities, the vessel has entered a U.S. port 20 times, its home port more than 10, and could have received the service/parts needed to correct the reported non-conformities; however, the company has not taken corrective action. In addition, multiple non-conformities were known to the crew but went unreported. Crewmembers were aware of Coast Guard issued deficiencies # 5, 8, 9, and 10 prior to the Port State Control boarding and did not fill out a non-conformity report in accordance with the SMS requirements. The company should ensure that all personnel involved in the company's safety management system have an adequate understanding of relevant rules, regulations, codes and guidelines. The identified material deficiencies 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 11 were unknown to the vessel's crewmembers, and no non-conformity reports were made.The company should establish procedures, plans and instructions, including checklists as appropriate, for key shipboard operations concerning the safety of the personnel, ship, and protection of the environment. No checklist is provided by the company instructing how often, procedures, or list of items to check regarding the ship's first aid kits. Both first aid kits carried onboard the vessel contained in excess of 75% expired and damaged items. In addition, the crew has multiple checklists for engineering and deck department rounds, maintenance, and regular task that are not listed in the vessel's SMS. In addition, the vessel's deck department found a wasted fire hydrant pipe that was verbally reported to the DPA; however, the engineering department was not aware and did not track the required corrective actions. 74 SOLAS 2014 Ch. IX / 3.1, ISM Code 1.3

- All ships, irrespective of size, shall have: nautical charts to plan and display the ship's route for the intended voyage and to plot and monitor positions throughout the voyage. An Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) is also accepted as meeting the chart carriage requirements.

The cargo deck has yellow lines to indicate where dangerous goods may not be stowed above the uninsulated category A machinery space; however, the lines are not 3 m away from the deck forming the engine room overhead.

Every crew member shall be familiar with the use of the ship's lifesaving appliances, including survival craft equipment, fire-fighting equipment and emergencies procedures before a voyage begins. PSCO observed a fire drill during which several key elements were lacking, there was no communication between on scene crew, team leader, and master. The master was not on the bridge throughout the drill, the crew experienced extreme difficulty and lack of familiarity while attempting to don the firefighting outfits, no general alarm was sounded, and the fuel shut off for the engine room, the location of the fire, was not simulated.
