Selected Item Details
Item No.: 06
Site: Potable Water-Microbiological Tests
Violation: The ship was performing the microbiological test on the bunkered water and the four random samples required each month. The records indicated the results of the Colilert test. These records did not indicate if the results were for total coliform or E. coli.
Recommendation:Ensure that a minimum of four potable water samples per month are collected and analyzed for the presence of Escherichia coli and are collected randomly from locations on the forward, aft, upper, and lower decks of the vessel. Ensure that sample sites are changed each month.
