Violation:
The overflow water from the analyzer station in the engine room was directed to a funnel through an air-break and not an air-gap. This water flowed down to a tank. The water could be pumped to the air conditioning expansion tank. The water could also be pumped to the grey water system through a grey water pump station.

Recommendation:
Ensure that backflow prevention devices requiring testing, for example reduced pressure backflow preventer and double check valves with test cocks, are inspected and tested with a test kit at least annually and that the test results showing the pressure differences on both sides of the valves are maintained for each device. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the annual testing of the reduced pressure backflow prevention devices.

Potable Water-
|
Violation:
There were a number of days during bunkering where it appeared that there was less than 2.0 ppm on the green side and adequate levels in the red side. These were for aft and forward bunkering. Per the engineer the less than 2.0 ppm was water in the distribution system and not bunkered water. This was not clear from the records that were kept.
|
Recommendation:
Ensure that the records indicate the bunkering location if both pens are recording or remove the pen for the station that is not actively bunkering.
