Violation:
The halogen analyzer was not within 0.2ppm when compared with consecutive measurements by the crew and inspector's test kits. At the time of measurements, the analyzer read 1.61ppm and tests taken by the inspector and crew averaged (5 measurements) 1.97ppm. The analyzer was recalibrated.
|
|
Recommendation:
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.

Violation:
There was no written documentation of approval from the certification organization (independent of the coating manufacturer) that the paint used for tank coatings was approved for this use. Staff stated they had it onboard but it was not readily accessible.
|
|
Recommendation:
Ensure the interior coatings on potable water tanks are approved for potable water contact by a certification organization. Follow all manufacturers? recommendations for application, drying, and curing. For the tank coatings used, maintain the following onboard: (1) written documentation of approval from the certification organization (independent of the coating manufacturer); (2) manufacturers? recommendations for application, drying, and curing; and (3) written documentation that the manufacturers? recommendations have been followed for application, drying, and curing.

Potable Water-Backflow Log
|
|
Violation:
The testable backflow log indicated test results for newly installed backflow prevention devices did not occur when they were installed. Specifically, the shoreside fire and sprinkler backflow assemblies were replaced on 4 February, however, the test dates for these devices were not until 18 February. Additionally, a new backflow prevention device was installed on the overboard discharge line for Osmosis #1, however, the type of device was still showing the old make and model on the log.
|
|
Recommendation:
Ensure the cross-connection control program includes at a minimum: a complete listing of cross-connections and the backflow prevention method or device for each, so there is a match to the plumbing system component and location. Include air gaps on the listing. Ensure a schedule for inspection frequency is set. Maintain a log documenting the inspection and maintenance in written or electronic form, and ensure it is available for review during inspections. Inspect and test backflow prevention devices requiring testing (e.g., reduced pressure backflow prevention devices and pressure vacuum breakers) with a test kit after installation and at least annually. Maintain test results showing the pressure differences on both sides of the valves.

Potable Water-Striping

Violation:
The overboard line for the port evaporator was striped blue/gray/blue indicating water going to the potable water system. Additionally, permeate water lines from Osmosis #1 were not clearly striped blue/gray/blue, and the produced water lines from the mineralizer were striped blue and not blue/gray/ blue. These were corrected.
|
|
Recommendation:
Stripe or paint potable water lines either in accordance with ISO 14726 (blue/green/blue) or blue only. Stripe or paint distillate and permeate lines directed to the potable water system in accordance with ISO 14726 (blue/gray/blue). Ensure no other lines have the above color designations. Stripe or paint these lines at 5 meters (15 feet) intervals and on each side of partitions, decks, and bulkheads, except where decor would be marred by such markings, including potable water supply lines in technical lockers. Do not stripe or paint potable water lines after reduced pressure assemblies as potable water. Identify all refrigerant brine lines and nonpotable chilled water lines in all food areas, such as on ice machines, ice cream machines, etc., with either ISO 14726 (blue/white/blue) or by another uniquely identifiable method to prevent cross-connections.

Recreational Water Facilities-Halogen levels - Serenity Pool
|
|
Violation:
Chlorine residual tests at the open Serenity pool (IRWF) were below the required 2.00ppm. Repeated tests by the crew and inspector's test kits measured 1.65, 1.91, and 1.43. Passengers were instructed to vacate the pool and the pool was immediately closed. Inspection in the pump room found the halogen injection pump was malfunctioning and the halogen level had dropped below 2ppm from ~1015 until we tested at ~1045.
|
|
Recommendation:
Maintain a free residual halogen in recirculated RWFs in the following ranges: (1) swimming pools, between 1.0 and 5.0 mg/L (ppm); (2) children's pools, between1.0 and 5.0 mg/L (ppm); (3) wading pools, between 1.0 and 5.0 mg/L (ppm); (4) interactive RWFs (activity pools), between 2.0 and 5.0 mg/L (ppm); (5) baby-only water facilities, between 3.0 and 10.0 mg/L (ppm) free chlorine or between 4.0 and 10.0 mg/L (ppm) bromine; and (6) whirlpool spas and spa pools, between 3.0 and 10.0 mg/L (ppm) free chlorine or between 4.0 and 10.0 mg/L (ppm) bromine. If facilities meet the definition of more than one type of RWF, apply the more protective halogen residual. If a facility is modified, apply the most protective halogen residual.

Recreational Water Facilities-Halogen Levels - Serenity Pool
|
|
Violation:
Chlorine residual tests at the open Serenity pool (IRWF) were below the required 2.00ppm. Repeated tests by the crew and inspector's test kits measured 1.65, 1.91, and 1.43. Passengers were instructed to vacate the pool and the pool was immediately closed. Inspection in the pump room found the halogen injection pump was malfunctioning and the halogen level had dropped below 2ppm from ~1015 until we tested at ~1045. Staff reported the low level halogen alarm sounded when the levels dropped below the set point and a pool engineer was sent to correct the issue. The engineer, however, began troubleshooting the issue rather than immediately closing the pool once the residual values fell below 2.0ppm.
|
|
Recommendation:
Ensure the supervisor or person in charge of recreational water operations on the vessel demonstrates to VSP?during inspections and on request ? knowledge of recreational water operations, is able to demonstrate this knowledge by compliance with Section 6 of the VSP 2018 Operations Manual or by responding correctly to the inspector?s questions as they relate to the specific operation, and properly trains employees to comply with Section 6 of the VSP 2018 Operations Manual as it relates to their assigned duties. When halogen or pH parameters are outside of the acceptable ranges the facility must be closed before troubleshooting the issue.
