GS 1109

(1) Each nonmetallic transfer hose must: Not burst, bulge, leak, or abnormally distort under static liquid pressure at least 1-1/2 times the MAWP. (2) Each transfer system relief valve must open at or below the pressure at which it is set to open. (3) Each pressure gauge must show pressure within 10 percent of the actual pressure (4) Each loading arm and each transfer pipe system, including each metallic hose, must not leak under static liquid pressure at least 1-1/2 times the MAWP; and (5) Each item of remote operating or indicating equipment, such as a remotely operated valve, tank level alarm, or emergency shutdown device, must perform its intended function. (f) The frequency of the tests and inspections required by this section must be:(3) For vessels, annually. Non-metallic hoses, transfer piping and relief valve have not been subjected to annual hydrostatic MAWP test. Emergency shutdown device is inoperable. Complete annual MAWP testing and repair emergency shutdown device.

The inspection shall be such as to insure that the vessel, as regards the structure, boilers, and other pressure vessels and their appurtenances, piping, main and auxiliary machinery, electrical installations... and other equipment is in satisfactory condition and fit for the service for which it is intended. Leak discovered on the forward cargo flow meter seal. Troubleshoot and repair leak found on the forward cargo flow meter seal.

The inspection shall be such as to insure that the vessel, as regards the structure, boilers, and other pressure vessels and their appurtenances, piping, main and auxiliary machinery, electrical installations... and other equipment is in satisfactory condition and fit for the service for which it is intended. Hairline fractures found on prime mover engine mounts/tie-down brackets (2). Renew prime mover engine mount/tie-down brackets (2).

Cargo pump relief valves shall be tested at least once each year to determine that they function satisfactorily at the pressure at which they are set. Complete testing of diesel cargo pump relief valve.

A pressure gauge shall be installed for each pump discharge, and it shall be located at a point visible with respect to pump controls. Vessels lube oil cargo and slop cargo pumps were not equipped with guages. Install gauges during next Internal Structural Exam, no later than 31 Mar 2024.

A pressure gauge shall be installed for each pump discharge, and it shall be located at a point visible with respect to pump controls. Diesel cargo pump gauge was fogged and unreadable.

All safety relief valves for use on pressure vessels shall be set to relieve at a pressure which does not exceed the maximum allowable working pressure of the pressure vessel. Prime mover start air receiver has a MAWP of 175 PSI but was equipped with a pressure relief valve set at 200 PSI. Provide relief valve set to relieve no higher than 175 PSI.

Make permanent repairs in way of port side mid ship nearest the third kevel starting from the deck working down on the side shell. The damage is approximately 4 ft long by 2 ft wide. The deepest part of the inset is estimated at 8 inches. As per 46 CFR 30.01-10
