Item No.: 08
Site: Potable Water-Bunkering Logs
Violation: Several errors were noted on the ship's bunkering logs. All logs were signed by the supervisor. On 30 Aug 2017, the ship finished bunkering at 17:04, but the last recorded measurement of free residual halogen and pH was at 15:35. The ship did not conduct the required hourly test following the 15:35 measurement. On 9 August 2017, the ship began bunkering water at 20:50 and did not achieve the required free halogen residual level and pH until 21:25. On 26 July 2017, the ship began bunkering water at 13:38 and did not achieve the required free residual halogen and pH until 14:17. On 20 July 2017, the initial shoreside water supply measurement for free halogen residual and pH was not recorded. Additionally, the free halogen residual and pH after 30 minutes of bunkering was not recorded. On 19 July 2017, the free halogen residual and pH after 30 minutes of bunkering was not recorded. On 13 July 2017, the stop time for bunkering was not recorded.
Recommendation: Adjust the free halogen residual level to at least 2.0 mg/L (ppm) within 30 minutes of the start of the bunkering and production processes. Conduct a free halogen residual and pH test on the shore-side water supply before starting the potable water bunkering process to establish the correct halogen dosage. Record the results of the pretest and ensure they are available for review during inspections. After the free residual halogen level of at least 2.0 mg/L (ppm) and pH level not exceeding 7.8 have been reached, monitor the free residual halogen and pH at least hourly during the bunkering of potable water. After the free residual halogen level of at least 2.0 mg/L (ppm) and pH level not exceeding 7.8 have been reached, monitor the free residual halogen and pH at least once every 4 hours during the production of potable water. Maintain accurate records of production and bunkering monitoring aboard for 12 months and ensure these records are available for review during inspections.
