Resolved
In the case of cargo tanks permitted to have more than one relief valve setting, the changing of set pressures inder the provision of 8.2.6, and the corresponding resetting of the alarms referred to in 13.4.4 (high pressure alarms) should be carried out under the supervision of the master in accordance with the procedures approved by the administration.

Each cargo tank should be provided with means for indicating pressure. Instruments should be tested to ensure reliability in the working condition and recalibrated at regular intervals. Pressure gauges for tanks #3 and #4 were found inoperative during October 2017 dry-dock and threrefore, unlike other cargo tank pressure gauges, were not calibrated/verified to be accurate during DD (objective evidence= Force technologies servicing report). Remote readout from pressure sensor is provided in CCR but the accuracy of the readouts cannot be verified/compared to the local gauges. 74 SOLAS (14) VII/13.1 REF IGC 13.1 50ac
