Recommendation: Stripe or paint potable water lines either in accordance with ISO 14726 (blue/green/blue) or blue only. Stripe or paint these lines at 5 meters (15 feet) intervals and on each side of partitions, decks, and bulkheads, except where decor would be marred by such markings, including potable water supply lines in technical lockers.

Mount these devices in a manner that allows for easy access during an emergency. Ensure the pole of the rescue or shepherd's hook is long enough to reach the center of the deepest portion of the pool from the side plus 2 feet.

Item No.: 37
Site: Galley-Deck 2 - Hot Galley
Violation: Dripping condensate was noted from inside the hood over the two combination steamer ovens, The ovens were set in a holding mode, but the oven temperature was set at 135C / 275F for food eventually going out to the serving line that was operating on the ship's time control plan. The left oven door gasket was apparently not properly sealing on the lower portion of the door opening, where a steady heavy plume of steam was escaping. Since the doors were closed and no food was being removed at the time of the observation, no food was being impacted by this condensate problem.
Recommendation: Ensure ventilation hood systems and devices operate effectively to prevent condensate from collecting on the deckheads and remove contaminants generated by equipment located under them.
