View/Print Summary Report  |  View/Print Corrective Action Statement
Item No.: *
Site: Integrated Pest Management-Pest Management Logs
Violation: Although the various inspection and pest management logs were dated, the columns where results or pest presence were to be noted had no information recorded. The forms used gave zero (0) as an example for such entries, but staff stated that a policy change took place to not enter zero when nothing was found. This absent entry gives the appearance that the inspection was not conducted.
Recommendation: Ensure that the findings are recorded on the log as it is designed to be.
Item No.: *
Site: Potable Water-Production and Bunkering Production and Bunkering Records
Violation: The circular charts for halogen residual were difficult to follow. During bunkering it appeared that production was occurring at the same time. Per the engineer, this was because the ink pen was kept running for both systems. He also stated that there were manual records that showed when bunkering and production operations occurred. On March 1 the manual records showed that bunkering ended at 1330 and production began at 1330. The engineer produced another record (Siemens System) that showed when production occurred. This record showed that the manual record was incorrect.
Recommendation: Ensure that the records for potable water production and bunkering are accurate.
Item No.: 03
Site: Potable Water-
Violation: On February 23, 2010, the vessel was bunkering at less than 2 ppm for a few hours. This also occurred on 2/15/2010.
Recommendation: Ensure that potable water is continuously halogenated to at least 2.0 mg/L (ppm) free residual halogen at the time of bunkering or production with an automatic halogenation device that is controlled by a flow meter.
Item No.: 07
Site: Potable Water-Production-Tortola at anchor Production and Bunkering Records
Violation: The analyzer chart showed readings of less than 2 ppm from 0830 until 1850. The manual records showed that production occurred while the vessel was in Tortola from 0400-1850. According to the engineer, water was not being produced for all of that time and the manual record was in error. Also there was water running through the analyzer chart recorder and this was the reason why there appeared to be a residual on the chart. The Siemens System record showed that water production did not occur after 0600.
Recommendation: Ensure that the manual potable water production records are accurate.
Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Cross-connection Control Program List
Violation: The potable water lines for filling the chemical tanks (halogen and pH control) for production, bunkering, distribution, pools and whirlpool spas were not listed. The mineralizer discharge line was not listed. The fill lines for the whirlpool and pool compensation tanks were not listed. All of these connections were protected by air gaps.
Recommendation: Ensure that the cross-connection control program includes at minimum: a complete listing of cross-connections and the backflow prevention method/device for each, so that there is a match to the plumbing system component and location, and an inspection frequency. Ensure that air-gaps are included in the listing.
Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-
Violation: The small diameter potable water lines were not striped or painted blue next to the mineralizer, at the sink near "non pot hydrofor 1" tank, and at the hot water line for the garbage room handwash sink
Recommendation: Ensure that potable water piping and fittings are painted or stripped auxiliary blue, or in accordance with ISO 14726, at 5 m (15 feet) intervals on each side of partitions, decks, and bulkheads in all spaces, except where the decor would be marred by such markings.
Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-
Violation: Potable water tank 7PW was spot painted on 2/1/2010. There was no record of what paint was used. Initially the Staff Captain was not clear on the paint used but it was later discovered that the paint used was Interline 925. There were no application, curing and drying procedures available for the paint. There was no record that the manufacturer's procedures were followed. When questioned, the boson stated that he knew the procedures for this paint from experience.
Recommendation: Ensure that interior coatings on potable water tanks are approved for potable water contact, and all manufacturer's recommendations for application, drying, or curing are followed. Ensure written documentaion for the coating used and recommendations followed are avaialble for review during inspections.
Item No.: 09
Site: Recreational Water Facilities-Swimming Pools
Violation: For a few readings, the manual records for the pools and whirlpools showed free halogen residuals and pH levels that were either too low or too high. In addition, some of these readings just showed "lo" or "hi". There was no action recorded in the logs when the halogen and pH levels were out of the acceptable range. Because the strip charts were not dated it was not possible to correlate these records with the electronic system. Per the engineer, action was taken but not recorded.
Recommendation: Ensure that a free residual halogen of >1.0 and <5.0 mg/L (ppm) is maintained in recirculated swimming pools. Ensure that whirlpool spas are maintained at a free residual chlorine of >3.0 mg/L (ppm) and <10 mg/L (ppm), or a free residual bromine of >4.0 mg/L (ppm) and <10 mg/L (ppm).
Item No.: 10
Site: DO NOT USE (whirlpool/spa)-
Violation: The vessel had a written procedure to raise the halogen residual to 10 ppm and circulate it for 1 hour at the end of the day for whirlpool spas. The halogen residual and contact time for this superhalogenation was not recorded.
Recommendation: Ensure that the free residual halogen is increased to at least 10.0 mg/L (ppm) in whirlpool spas and circulated for at least 1 hour at the end of each day.
Item No.: 10
Site: Recreational Water Facilities-Paddle Pool
Violation: The drain cover for this pool was not stamped to show that it was anti-entrapment. There was no letter to show that this drain cover was anti-entrapment.

Ensure that drain covers have either the plumbing/engineering approving organization stamp and flow rate affixed to the cover, or that a letter is maintained aboard the vessel certifying that the cover meets the safety requirements outlined in AMSE/ANSI A112.19.8M or an equivalent standard.
Item No.: 10
Site: Recreational Water Facilities-Swimming Pools and Whirpool Spas
Violation: The strip charts showing the free halogen residuals and pH levels were not dated and initialed. The strips charts were left on the recording units for an excessive amount of time. It was difficult to review the past records for recreational water facilities that were currently in operation.
Recommendation: Date and initial strip charts on a daily basis. Remove the strips charts on a monthly basis.
Item No.: 10
Site: DO NOT USE (whirlpool/spa)-
Violation: The pH levels maintained in the whirlpool spas were not clear on the strip charts. It appeared for the Riviera Spa that the pH was 3 on the strip chart. From the manual records (not hourly) the pH levels were not this low.
