Item No.: 07
Site: Potable Water-Pipe Disinfection Records
Violation: The 'hyperchlorination of potable water lines' disinfection records did not include the total number of hours associated with the minimum 50 ppm chlorine residuals. These records were originally provided by the shipyard. The ship was transferred to the owner and departed the shipyard on 14 November 2023.
Recommendation: Disinfect after potential contamination by increasing the free residual halogen to at least 50 mg/L (ppm) throughout the affected area and maintain this concentration for 4 hours or by way of another procedure submitted to and accepted by VSP.
Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Production Line
Violation: The distillate lines after the evaporator and prior to the halogen injection point 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.
