Site:
Potable Water-Engine Control Room
|
|
Violation:
Legionella sampling of technical water sources and hot water return lines were not tested as outlined in the VSP 2025 Environmental Public Health Standards.
|
|
Recommendation:
Sample the potable water system for Legionella at least every 6 months. Ensure sample sites are representative of the potable water and RWF systems and number of samples depends on the size and complexity of the vessel.
Take follow-up actions when Legionella is detected based on the type of Legionella found, the concentration (for example in CFU/ml), and the extent of colonization. Actions can include (1) Review of the water management program; (2) Root cause analysis to understand possible reasons for Legionella growth; (3) Updates to the water management program if needed. Consider retesting fixtures or devices where Legionella was detected to confirm the effectiveness of the response and to determine if remediation is needed. For additional guidance, see ASHRAE Guideline 12, Appendix C5.
The Legionella sampling plan must include a selection of the following locations: (1) Potable water storage tanks; (2) Water heaters and hot water storage; (3) Hot water return lines; (4) Representative points of use in cabins, galleys, and recreational areas. Include a mix of fixture types (showers, sink faucets, tubs). Include potable water samples when temperatures are in the range favorable for Legionella growth (77?113F, 25?45C); (5) Decorative water features; (6) Misting systems; (7) Salon and pedicure devices; (8) Technical water sources with a risk of exposure via aerosolization to crew or passengers, such as deck washing.

Potable Water-Engine Control Room - Potable Water Bunkering Log
|
|
Violation:
The potable water bunkering log for 9/29/2025 had recorded time inaccuracies. Start time for potable water tank 2213 had a recorded start time of 2:30 pm, however, the recorded hourly halogen and pH test monitoring was logged as 6:00 am - 10:00 am. The final entry was recorded at 3:30 pm. As per engine room crew, potable water production data entry was inadvertently recorded on the potable water bunkering log. Additionally, a potable water bunkering log entry on 9/5/2025 for potable water tank 2113 did not have the time recorded for the halogen and PH test.
|

Recommendation:
Maintain accurate records of bunkering and production halogentation and pH control monitoring on the vessel for 12 months and ensure these records are available for review during inspections.

Violation:

Recommendation:
Protect entry points where pests may enter the food areas.
Ensure rat guards are made of a durable and nonchewable material. Use rat guards according to the manufacturer?s specifications for the effective prevention of pest migration. Ensure rat guards are on all lines that go ashore on arrival and until 1 hour before the ship leaves port. Ensure each line has at least one rat guard placed either as far as practicable from the pier or as far as practicable from the ship but still close enough to stuff any openings with nonchewable material. Ensure rat guards are not staggered on adjacent lines, and a group of lines do not merge onto one rat guard.
