Item No.: *
Site: *General Comment-Flies in Non-food areas
Violation: Tiny flies were seen in non-food areas of the vessel to include the following: three in the medical center's pharmacy and one in the doctor consultation room; one in the engine control room, and one in the office where recreational water records were reviewed.

Item No.: 03
Site: Other-Engine Room/ Bunkering Chart
Violation: On March 26, 2023 the halogen levels for bunkering did not reach at least 2.0 ppm during the entire bunkering period except for the final 15 minutes. Records indicated a continuous value of 1.5ppm from the start of bunkering at 11AM until 1:45PM. A 2.0 ppm value was only observed at 1:45 PM, which was about 15 minutes before bunkering stopped around 2PM. There was no indication or note on the record as to why the value did not reach at least 2.0 ppm and no indication of any action taken. When the inspector asked a crew member about the requirement of the halogen residual it was stated at least 1.5 ppm. The inspector corrected the crew about the values and they agreed that the chart was incorrect.
Recommendation: Continuously halogenate potable water to at least 2.0 mg/L (ppm) free residual halogen at the time of bunkering or production with an automatic halogenation device that is controlled by a flow meter and adjust the pH so it does not exceed 7.8. Ensure the amount of halogen injected during bunkering or production is controlled by a flow meter or a free halogen analyzer.
Item No.: 08
Site: Other-Engine Room / Bunkering Chart
Violation: On March 26, 2023 the halogen levels for bunkering did not reach at least 2.0 ppm during the entire bunkering period except for the final 15 minutes. Records indicated a continuous value of 1.5ppm from the start of bunkering at 11AM until 1:45PM. A 2.0 ppm value was only observed at 1:45 PM, which was about 15 minutes before bunkering stopped around 2PM. There was no indication or note on the record as to why the value did not reach at least 2.0 ppm and no indication of any action taken. When the inspector asked a crew member about the requirement of the halogen residual it was stated at least 1.5 ppm. The inspector corrected the crew about the values and they agreed that the chart was incorrect.
Recommendation: Adjust the free halogen residual level to at least 2.0 MG/L (ppm) and the pH not to exceed 7.8 within 30 minutes of the start of the bunkering and production processes. Maintain accurate records of production and bunkering monitoring aboard for 12 months and ensure these records 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. Ensure a test kit is available for testing free halogen levels and pH. Ensure test kits are accurate to within 0.2 mg/L (ppm) for halogen and have a testing range of free residual halogen normally maintained in the potable water system. Ensure test kits for pH are accurate to within 0.2.
