Medical-Gastrointestinal (GI) Illness Reporting
|
|
Violation:
On voyage 14018, from 21 to 29 November, the ship did not make the required 24 hour prior to arrival notification of gastrointestinal illness cases on board. There was a weather related change to the ship's itinerary on this voyage which forced the ship to skip the port call in Key West, Florida, but the automated GI reporting system on the ship made that prior to arrival report on 24 November. Since there was no Key West port calll on the following day, the next U.S. port following a foreign port was the return to Baltimore on 29 November.

Recommendation:
Ensure the master, medical staff, or other designated staff of a vessel destined for a U.S. port from a foreign port submits at least one standardized AGE report based on the number of reportable cases in the AGE log to VSP no less than 24 hours?but not more than 36 hours?before the vessel?s expected arrival at the U.S. port.

Potable Water-Distribution System - Upper Loop
|
|
Violation:
There were several manual comparison tests made on the upper loop far point distribution system to verify the accuracy of the analyzer device installed at the bridge. Both the ship's manual test kit and the inspector's kit were used. Initially the inspector measured values of 1.31 and 1.27 ppm free chlorine residual compared to analyzer values of 1.9 ppm, but the ship's kit displayed values at 1.9 ppm. After resolving some technical errors with the testing method performed by the ship's staff the re-testing at this location had both the inspector and ship's test kits producing similar results, which indicated differences of 0.45 to 0.48, from the analyzer device when the accuracy errors in both manual test kits were included in the evaluation. The analyzer was recalibrated during the inspection to reflect the manual values. The

Ensure the free residual halogen measured by the halogen analyzer is within 0.2 mg/L (ppm) of the free residual halogen measured by the manual test.

Potable Water-Manual Testing
|
|
Violation:
The engineering staff who conducted the manual comparison tests for the potable water distribution system was observed repeatedly inserting the filled sample bottle into the test kit analyzer cell with significant excess water all over the exterior surface with no attempt to dry it. When the kit was examined there was an accumulation of water inside the well where the sample bottle inserts. Lastly, the staff member did not allow the sample to rest prior to pressing the read (analysis) button on the test kit after vigorous stirring. When changes were made to the methods the decrease in the chlorine residual values was significant (0.6-0.7 ppm) and the results were within 0.2 ppm free chlorine residual of the inspector's manual tests.
|
|
Recommendation:
Ensure the staff making manual tests are trained and familiar with the water test kit instructions and that they follow those instructions strictly.
