Item No.: 02
Site: Medical-Public Vomit Incident (PVI) Follow Up
Violation: The review of medical logs disclosed three instances when there were no notes about medical evaluation for incidents of individuals vomiting in public areas. It was unclear if these passengers met the AGE reportable case definition and had to be isolated because no evaluation was documented. These passengers were identified by name and cabin. The PVI dates identified were: (1) 1 passenger on 3 February 2025, and (2) 2 passengers on 1 February 2025.
Recommendation: Ensure medical records document evaluations for public vomit/diarrhea incidents when the individuals involved are identified. Proper evaluation should include determining if the individuals meet the definition of an AGE reportable case and assessing the need for isolation.
Item No.: 06
Site: Potable Water-Engine Room - Bunkering Line
Violation: The analyzer was in disrepair while active bunkering was in operation during the inspection. In the meantime, staff were using the production analyzer for the bunkering charts and the sample line. The inspector and crew tested halogen residual levels and values were in range.
Recommendation: Maintain the halogen analyzer-chart recorder properly and operate it in accordance with the manufacturer?s instructions.
Item No.: 10

Note: cheddar cheese is exempt from datemarking; however, cheddar cheese is not exempt from temperature requirements and must be maintained 41F or below. If not maintained at this temperature (and not cooked), cheddar cheese must be maintained on time control.
