74 SOlAS (20) II-2/11.6.3.2: A secondary means of allowing full flow relief of vapor, air, or inert gas mixtures shall be provided to prevent over pressure or under presure in the event of failure of the arrangments. Alternatively pressure sensors may be fitted in each tank with a monitoring system in the ship's cargo control room of the position from which cargo operations are normally carried out. Such monitoring equipment shall also provide an alarm facility which is activated by detection of over pressure or under pressure conditions within a tank. PSCO observed cargo tank 2(P) pressure sensor malfunction and alarm triggered in CCR.

No electrical equipment shall be installed in any space where flammable mixtures are liable to collect unless the administration is satisfied that such equipment is appropriate to the space concerned. PSCO found conduit piping for the following to be wasted through allowing vapors to enter protected spaces: temperature sensor conduit for 2 port and 6 stbd; pressure sensor conduit for 1 stbd, 2 port, 2 stbd; junction box conduit for 5 stbd, port slop, stbd slop. Rectify to the satisfaction of class prior to cargo. Cite: 74 SOLAS (04) II-1/45.10 Action: 17ac (changed to 40ac) Effect permanent repairs to indicated piping prior to next U.S. port after sailing foreign.

Means shall be provided to control the leaks of flammable liquids. PSCO found fuel injector on #1 generator to be spraying fuel oil. Vessel shall not operate the #1 Generator until repairs are made to the satisfaction of class. Cite: 74 SOLAS (04) II-2/4.1.2 Action: 16ac

Where the atmosphere in double hull spaces cannot be reliably measured using flexible gas sampling hoses, such spaces shall be fitted with permanent gas sampling lines. PSCO was unable to witness proper operation of the fixed hydrocarbon gas detection system due to a flow fault when cycling sample points. Cite: 74 SOLAS (04) II-2/4.5.7.2.2 Action: 16ac

Means shall be provided to control the leaks of flammable liquids. PSCO observed lower sight glass of M.E. lube oil tank to be gagged in the open position. Cite: 74 SOLAS (04) II-2/4.1.2 Action: 10c

For tanks of 20,000 tonnes deadweight and upward, the protection of the cargo tanks shall be achieved by a fixed inert gas system in accordance with the requirements of the fire safety systems code. Vessels main inert gas system inoperable, temporary inert gas unit has been installed onboard. Vessel is allowed to conduct one time cargo discharge once the conditions of the Captain of the Port Orde

At least two blowers shall be fitted and be capable of delivering to the cargo tanks at least the volume of gas required by paragraph 2.2.1.2 and 2.2.1.3 for systems with gas generators, the administration may permit only one blower if that system is capable of delivering the total volume of gas required by paragraphs 2.2.1.2 and 2.2.1.3 to the protected cargo tanks, provided that sufficient spare

Vessel holds a Certificate of Fitness under IBC. IBC states that foam shall not be of the regular protien type. Vessel has regular protien type onboard. Prior to carrying Annex II cargoes, vessel must have proper fire fighting foam onboard. Further, vessel is not in compliance with the Certificate of Fitness. SOLAS 74 (2004 Cons. Ed.) CH. VII/ 10.1 IBC CH. 11.3.2 70 A/C

Vessel's IGG had a hole and resultant leak in way of a weld seam on the underside of the burn unit. This resulted in jacket water being discharged onto the deck. SOLAS 74 (2004 Cons. Ed) CH. I/11 70 A/C
