Fire boundaries are to be maintained at all times. The following practices were observed: a) Quarters stairwell doors were tied open at multiple levels upon arrival. While temporary and quickly corrected, it appears to be a common occurrence with non-magnetic tie-backs in place at multiple levels. b) Dumbwaiter fire door in the Laundry Room to be tied in the open position (non-magnetic hold-back). c) Numerous items were placed beneath the Galley/Messdeck and Scullery/Messdeck fire shutters during meal times that would prevent the shutters from fully closing during automatic activation, as designed. Maintain fire boundaries in accordance with unit’s design and fire control plan to afford proper protection against the spread of fire through vertical and horizontal zones. 46 CFR 108.143(g)(2) & § 108.137

Means must be provided to secure openings in spaces protected by a CO2 fire suppression system. a) A temporary portable air conditioning unit has been installed in the Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) MCC Room to aid in cooling while the installed cooling unit is non-functional (currently on order). The added exhaust penetration contains no way of securing the opening and will reduce the effectiveness of the suppression system. Remove temporary exhaust and repair enclosure penetration to match original design. b) Intake and exhaust louvers for the EDG and Auxiliary Generator enclosures appear to be in disrepair. Recent 3rd Party service report contains no indication of testing the louvers to verify proper closure with the inspection of the CO2 fire suppression system. Prove proper operation of enclosure louvers. c) The Auxiliary Generator enclosure south doors are rotted and will not completely close, rendering the CO2 suppression system for the enclosure ineffective. Repair/replaced wasted enclosure panels/doors as necessary to restore boundary integrity to the enclosure. d) Wasted/holed areas of Main Gas Turbine (MGT) C enclosure to be repaired prior to placing MGT C back into service to ensure effectiveness of the CO2 fire suppression system. 46 CFR 108.455(b) & (c)

Fire hose reels throughout the facility shall be maintained in good condition at all times. Observed several hose reel stations throughout the facility to have broken grease fittings for the hose reel swivel, or apparent lack of lubrication to reels with the grease fitting in place. Hose reel stations on the Main Deck (#5) and Heli-Deck west stairs have a seized swivel and unthread the swivel-to-pipe nipple connection when the reel is unspooled. 3rd party fire servicing report completed during May2024 doesn't list any concerns with the reels themselves

Each fire detection system on a unit must show the zone where the fire has been detected. The Fireboy® detection system for the EDG enclosure was showing internal and ground trouble alarms. Prove proper operation of system.

Each fixed fire extinguishing system must have posted operating instructions. The South MCC Room FM-200 operating instructions placard is missing. Replace same. 46 CFR 108.631(b)

Lifeboats and their equipment are to be maintained in good condition at all times. Lifeboats (LBs) were serviced by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) on 15Jun2024; however, the following discrepancies were noted: a) The storage compartment in LB 1 containing lifeboat outfit/loose equipment contained several inches of water that had damaged some of the equipment. Dry stowage compartment and replace damaged/deteriorated equipment. b) LBs 3 and 4 were both found to have water in the bilge area where the self-contained air system cylinders are stowed. LB air cylinders were also found to be stowed in a manner where there was cylinder-to-cylinder or direct steel-to-steel contact with the stowage brackets that could accelerate corrosion of the compressed air cylinders. Dry compressed air cylinder stowage area for LBs 3 & 4. c) LB 3 has a defective compressed air regulator (noted on the May2024 servicing report). Replace same.

Each enclosed space must be ventilated. The majority of the supply vent screens throughout the SW and SE hull columns were observed to be partially or mostly blocked, reducing ventilation flow in the active columns. The intake guard for the SE upper column exhaust fan is corroded and no longer providing protection for/against rotating machinery. Clean all screens and verify intake guards/screens are in place as appropriate to reduce intake of debris and birds contributing to downstream blockages. 46 CFR 108.181 & § 108.223

Brazed piping joints shall be sufficient for the intended service. Brazed joints for the potable water UV filter system in the Water Filter Room have temporary repairs due to joint issues. Affect repairs to ensure proper and leak free joints.

A lifeboat engine shall be provided with either a manual starting system, or a power starting system with two independent rechargeable energy sources. Lifeboat 4's secondary battery bank was tagged out and inoperable. Make repairs to the secondary starting system ensuring two independent means of starting. 46CFR 160.135 LSA Code 4.4.6.2

The operator shall ensure that all equipment specified in the EEP, whether the equipment is located on or off of the facility, is made available and located as indicated in the EEP and is designed and maintained so as to be capable of performing its intended function during an emergency evacuation. While conducting emergency drills no means of communication was operable to allow the Incident Command Center to contact shore to report casualties. Personnel were using personal cell phones that relied on electrical power and a wifi signal to communicate. Make repairs to the phone system to ensure personnel are able to contact shore from their designated position on the station bill. 46CFR 146.140(e)(1)

Each crane must meet the following rated load test each 60 months. Facility did not have any documentation for 5 year load test. Provide documentation or conduct test.

All cable for electric power must be checked for proper insulation resistance. Found multiple cables with outer jacket cut. Make proper repairs to satisfaction of USCG.

Accommodation exterior doors and blast wall door need to be adjusted IAW Fire Control Plan.

Electrical water heater #1 440 volt wiring not electrically sound.

Both cranes past due on 5 yr rated load test.

Limits switches on #1 lifeboat, which is the designated rescue boat, were siezed and would not allow rasiing of the boat from a lowered position. Limit switches on all lifeboat davits were seized.
