On 5 February, the chart record stated production ended at 0600 on 6 February and the log record stated production ended at 0500 on 6 February; the chart record showed the average free halogen residual to be below 2.0 ppm and the average pH level was above 7.8 from 0200-0600. On 26 February, the log record showed the last chlorine and pH readings recorded at 2200, with overboard noted at 0045 on 27 February and stop time at 0630 while the chart stated stop at 0500 with restart of production at 0800 on 27 February; the chart record showed that the chlorine residual levels were below 2.0 ppm from 2300 to 0500 and staff had a manual recording on the log with a chlorine residual above 2.0 ppm at 0200 on 27 February.
Recommendation: After the free residual halogen level of at least 2.0 mg/L (ppm) and pH level not exceeding 7.8 have been reached, monitor the free residual halogen and pH at least once every 4 hours during the production of potable water. Maintain accurate records of production and bunkering monitoring aboard for 12 months and ensure these records are available for review during inspections.
