Water Mist Systems – PSC detentions
18 Μαΐου, 2015 | Posted by in MOU | PARIS MOU | PSC | SOLAS | USCG - (Δεν επιτρέπεται σχολιασμός στο Water Mist Systems – PSC detentions)The Republic of the Marshall Islands has issued a marine safety advisory regarding some recent PSC Detentions due to issues with water mist systems.
We would like to emphasise the importance of having all water mist systems fully operational, all the time.
The majority of the detentions regarding the water mist systems on foreign flagged vessels entering US ports were related to the system being in “manual” mode instead of “automatic” mode. In several cases, the water supply valve was found closed, rendering the water mist system “not readily available for immediate use”.
The recommendations include paying close attention to valve alignment as well as ensuring that there is adequate labelling reminding the crew on board that critical fixed firefighting equipment must be made available for immediate use. The water mist control panels must be kept in “automatic” mode (and power supply turned “on”).
Special attention should be given to verify these settings prior to entering a U.S. port.
The full text of the Marine Safety Advisory can be found herein.
Paris and Tokyo MoUs on PSC will hold joint CIC on Fire Safety Systems-2012
27 Ιουνίου, 2012 | Posted by in MOU | PARIS MOU | PSC | Χωρίς κατηγορία - (Δεν επιτρέπεται σχολιασμός στο Paris and Tokyo MoUs on PSC will hold joint CIC on Fire Safety Systems-2012)
Launch of concentrated inspection campaign on Fire Safety Systems beginning 1 September 2012 by Paris Mou and Tokyo MoU on Port State Control.
The 43 Maritime Authorities of the Paris and the Tokyo Memoranda of Understanding (MoU) on Port State Control will launch a joint Concentrated Inspection Campaign (CIC) with the purpose to ensure compliance with SOLAS Chapter II-2/ Construction – fire protection, fire detection and fire extinction arrangements on board ships. This inspection campaign will be held for three months, commencing from 1 September 2012 and ending on 30 November 2012.
In practice, the CIC will mean that during a regular port State control inspection conducted under the regional ship selection criteria within the Paris and Tokyo MoU regions, the fire safety arrangements, maintenance records and other applicable documentation will be verified in more detail for compliance with SOLAS Chapter II-2.
Port State Control Officers (PSCOs) will use a list of 12 selected items to verify critical areas for the shipboard fire safety systems, some of which are related to documentation, equipment and crew familiarisation.
For this purpose, PSCOs will apply a CIC FSS – Questionnaire to be covered during the concentrated inspection.
When deficiencies are found, actions by the port State may vary from recording a deficiency and instructing the master to rectify it within a certain period to detaining the ship until serious deficiencies have been rectified.
In the case of detention, publication in the monthly detention lists of the Paris and Tokyo MoU web sites will take place.
It is expected that the Paris and Tokyo MoUs will carry out approximately 10,000 inspections during the CIC.
The results of the campaign will be analysed and findings will be presented to the governing bodies of the MoUs for submission to the IMO.
Other MOUs may also carry out a CIC on the same topic during this period.
Harmonised Deficiency Codes — Tokyo Mou
20 Μαΐου, 2012 | Posted by in MOU | PARIS MOU | TOKYO MOU - (Δεν επιτρέπεται σχολιασμός στο Harmonised Deficiency Codes — Tokyo Mou)New codes that have been effective within the Paris MOU region since July 2011 have now also entered the implementation phase within the Tokyo MOU region. The new codes are structured into 17 main groups, compared to 31 groups in the previous deficiency coding system. There are three large groups, which are divided into sub-divisions: certificates and documents (three sub-divisions), working and living conditions (two sub-divisions), and pollution prevention (seven sub-divisions). After implementation, the new coding system willl be used in roughly 50,000 PSC inspections per year.
There is, however, a difference when it comes to ISM and ISPS deficiencies. While the Tokyo MOU links the deficiencies to the the relevant section of the ISM and ISPS codes, the Paris MOU has decided to keep one common deficiency for each of these two groups. The new reference codes can be found on corresponding MOU web site links:
