Violation: During active bunkering of potable water from the shore connection to tank #3, the free chlorine residual as measured by the ship's manual kit was 2.2 ppm (mg/L), but only 0.72 ppm on the inspector's test kit.

Two subsequent tests were made with the ship's kit set to the low analysis range and the readings were 0.61 and 0.62 ppm. The inspector's kit measured 0.72 and 0.71 ppm on these two additional tests. A water sample drawn from the tank being filled had a free chlorine residual of only 0.11 ppm. The chlorination was increased and re-tested on the inspector's kit at 2.11 ppm.
