Violation:
Multiple potable water lines throughout the engine room were not properly striped as potable water. Additionally, the distillate and permeate water lines were not striped blue/gray/blue.
|
|
Recommendation:
Stripe or paint potable water lines either in accordance with ISO 14726 (blue/green/blue) or blue only. Stripe or paint distillate and permeate lines directed to the potable water system in accordance with ISO 14726 (blue/gray/blue). Ensure no other lines have the above color designations. 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. Do not stripe or paint potable water lines after reduced pressure assemblies as potable water. Identify all refrigerant brine lines and nonpotable chilled water lines in all food areas, such as on ice machines, ice cream machines, etc., with either ISO 14726 (blue/white/blue) or by another uniquely identifiable method to prevent cross-connections.

|
Violation:
Bunkering records for 6 January 2023 did not include a bunkering pretest. For the same record, bunkering began at 1510, however, at least 2ppm free chlorine was not reached until 1600. The ship was taking manual tests every hour in lieu of a continuous chart recorder.
|
|
Recommendation:
Conduct a free halogen residual and pH test on the shore-side water supply before starting the potable water bunkering process to establish the correct halogen dosage. Record the results of the pretest and ensure they are available for review during inspections. Adjust the free halogen residual level to at least 2.0 MG/L (ppm) and the pH not to exceed 7.8 within 30 minutes of the start of the bunkering and production processes.

|
Violation:
The turnover rate for the deep pool was calculated at 4 hours for a regular pool rather than 2 hours for an activity pool (>24 inches). Staff stated they could achieve the 2-hour turnover rate by adjusting the pumps and replacing the sand filter with cartridge filtration.
|
|
Recommendation:
For RWFs with skim gutters, ensure that the fill level of the RWF is to the level of the skim gutters. Design recirculation systems and equipment, including chemical control equipment, UV disinfection systems, filter, and pumps to maintain adequate water chemistry control while operating at the following minimum turnover rates:(8) interactive RWF or activity pool greater than 610 millimeters (24 inches) deep: 2 hours.

Violation:
The shepherd's hook pole was not long enough to reach the center of the deepest portion of the pool and at least 2 feet from the closest edge.
|
|
Recommendation:
Provide a rescue or shepherd?s hook and an approved flotation device at a prominent location (visible from the full perimeter of the pool) at each RWF that has a depth of 1 meter (3 feet) or greater. 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. Ensure it is a light, strong, nontelescoping material with rounded, nonsharp ends. Ensure the approved flotation device includes an attached rope that is at least 2/3 of the maximum pool width. Ensure the rescue or shepherd?s hook is long enough to touch the bottom center of the deepest portion of the RWF plus 2 feet (0.6 meters) as measured from the closest edge without an obstruction. This edge can only be used for measurement if someone could freely walk down both sides without an obstruction such as a waterfall, fountain, statue, etc. For a rectangular pool, ensure the shorter distance is measured from the long side of the rectangle as long as there are no obstructions. Measure the 2 feet (0.6 meters) distance from where the shepherd?s hook crosses the fill line of the RWF.
