In the event that a technical deficiency cannot be rectified by the crew due to lack of spare parts or scale/nature of the problem, then office must be contacted immediately and full details provided. The following information should be provided as part of the initial notification: 
1) Identification of the affected equipment 
2) Nature of the problem 
3) Why the problem cannot be handled by the crew – parts related, scale or size of the problem, location of the ship etc. 
4) What is needed to correct the deficiency – parts, shore service, any other form of assistance. 
The Master/Chief Engineer will then liaise with the ship’s Technical Superintendent to determine if the current operation can be safely continued or if other intervention is required. Other intervention may take the form of 
1) The provision of additional safe guards to manage the deficiency safely, 
2) Shore assistance to repair locally, 
3) Permission to move the ship to another location where the deficiency can be better repaired 
4) Assistance to make such a move. 
The staff involved ashore and afloat shall make full use of risk assessment techniques to develop a documented appraisal of the situation, identify potential hazards and means to control these before making a final decision as to the course of action to be followed. 
Non-conformities and technical deficiencies must be always taken into account in the Tool box and Management meeting discussions /planning if it pertains to the job to be undertaken. 
3.03 Planned Maintenance System (PMS) 
3.03.01 General 
Maintenance of machinery and equipment must always be based upon the manufacturer's instructions, where maintenance procedures and intervals are specified. Special attention must be paid to isolation of equipment / system to prevent any accidental activation or release of hazardous substances. This is particularly required for systems that remain pressurized and/or elevated temperatures when shut down and isolated which may discharge their contents under pressure when disturbed. 
Maintenance routines must be planned to prevent machinery failure due to lack of scheduled maintenance. 
Vessels with computerized Planned Maintenance System will plan and execute the maintenance jobs in accordance with generated data base which will be updated regularly. Jobs which can only be undertaken during Dry docks will also be suitably entered in computerized PMS and consolidated list

generated as and when required, provided this facility exists. On vessels without computerized PMS, Dry dock related jobs will be entered and maintained in Form TEC/027 and TEC/028 (Section 3.16.01 refers.) 
Maintenance intervals for all equipments must be specified. Overdue items must be reported with reasons (why not completed) to the Company on a monthly basis, so that shore based personnel may follow-up and provide resources when necessary. As far as possible maintenance routines on ‘Critical’ equipments shall not be delayed or deferred. In general, the maximum percentage of deferred (Outstanding) jobs year to date should not exceed 6%. 
Ship staff should refer to the PMS system guide for carrying out unscheduled jobs. 
The planned maintenance program should include; 
 Details of maintenance schedules whether carried out according to running hours or calendar period, or if condition monitoring is used as a substitute. 
 Details referenced to equipment manufacturer’s instructions or experience, of what maintenance is required, including Safety precautions for the isolation and preparation of machinery and systems in readiness for maintenance (references to work permits, lock & tag procedures, Risk Assessments etc.). 
 Inspection, testing and maintenance of all safety and relief devices forming part of the system. 
 Historical data on maintenance and repair work which has been carried out. 
 Spare part inventory. 
 Any proposed major repairs or overhauls should have a completion schedule, with spare parts verifies as being on board or on order. 
The following guidelines should be adhered to 
 When the planned maintenance system indicates that a particular machine or item is due for attention, all routine maintenance such as greasing, oil changes, filter cleaning etc, should be done and the work recorded 
 The Chief Engineer does not have the discretion to alter the frequency of planned maintenance schedules without confirmation and agreement from the Company 
 If a machine has had abnormally low running hours since the last routine maintenance, the Chief Engineer may postpone part or all of the tasks to a later date in consultation with Company, but must report the job as maintenance not done. This may not be applicable to those items which require Time Based maintenance 
 Where the planned maintenance system indicates that a major overhaul is due, the Chief Engineer should verify if there has been any deterioration in performance. If it is concluded that the machine does not exhibit any deterioration in performance, the data should be discussed with the Company to determine if it is feasible to defer the overhaul to the next due date 
 While carrying out maintenance of any equipment as part of the PMS or otherwise, status of its Classification survey should also be verified and if classification survey is due in near future, same can be offered to class surveyor also. This way the item will not have to be opened twice i.e. once for PMS and once for Class survey. Please also refer to 4.01 and 4.02.02

It is the Master’s duty to ensure that as a minimum the guidelines and routines of the PMS are followed and completed satisfactorily. The Chief Engineer and Chief Officer are to assist him in meeting this objective. 
3.03.03 Dispatch of PMS Records from Vessel to Office 
The Chief Engineer and Chief Officer shall compile the PMS records and forward to the Company from the first available port at the beginning of each month, through the Master. Ships may send the PMS reports by hard copy print outs generated from the program itself or in soft copies in the form of export file generated by the program / or other suitable means. 
This will not be required for systems that support on line viewing in Office. 
3.04 Engine Room Machinery Inspection and Maintenance 
The Chief Engineer is entirely responsible for inspection, maintenance and repairs of all engine room machinery as per the ‘Planned Maintenance System’ (PMS). Machinery overhauls, whether to main, auxiliary or ancillary equipment should be carried out taking into consideration the manufacturers’ recommended service intervals (which should normally be used as a maximum limit), Class Survey cycles and the circumstances surrounding the operation of the machinery. Service intervals should be reduced if any of the parameters such as fuel specification, ambient conditions or abnormalities are close to manufacturers recommended limits. 
Where possible, internal inspections using non-invasive techniques such as sighting cylinders/pistons through scavenge ports etc. should be used to monitor machinery components. This will allow evaluation of internals and appropriate revision of service intervals. 
The Main Engine sump tank shall be cleaned in every routine dry-dock

All electrical equipment including Junction Boxes and cable runs are to be maintained in good condition. 
All standby equipment including motors, feeder cables, steering supplies, etc., should be changed over with running equipment at regular intervals. Heaters, where fitted, should be switched on in standby electric motors. 
Marking on electrical connections/wirings should be carefully retained and promptly replaced if soiled or illegible for easy co-relation with the circuit diagram. 
Non-conducting deck coverings, such as non-conducting mats or gratings, suitable for the specific switchboard voltage should be installed for personnel protection at the front and rear of the switchboard and should extend the entire length of and be of sufficient width to suit, the operating space. This applies to switchboards exceeding 50 volts AC/120V DC. Some decks are made from insulating composite material and will not need extra insulation. 
The matting should preferably be of a light colour and comply with one of the standards for electrical matting. 
If the main switchboard is not located in the engine control room or other protected location, measures that have to be taken to protect it from water spray. Risk due to water ingress from scuttles, ventilations and in the event of failure of sea water pipes, including fire mains and hydrants, should be assessed.

Intrinsically safe installations usually use zener barrier devices to separate parts of circuits which are installed in hazardous areas from parts which are installed in safe areas. Their function is to limit the electrical energy, which may be transferred to the parts of the circuit, which are installed in the hazardous areas under fault conditions. The energy limit is selected to ensure that an explosive mixture present in the hazardous area cannot be ignited. The barrier units are sealed and must not be opened. Testing must be confined to replacing a suspect unit with an identical spare. No other maintenance action may be permitted. Test meters must not be connected to the wiring on the hazardous side of the barrier unless they are of an approved safe type. 
3.05.05 Earth faults and Insulation Testing 
Earth indication lamps are located on all switchboards and certain sub-switchboards. Action must be taken as soon as possible to locate and clear an earth fault as soon as the lamps have given indication. Failure to clear one fault may result in failure of supply to equipment and risk of fire or other damage to the electrical installation should a second fault occur on another phase of the same system. 
Insulation tests (a Megger or similar meter is supplied to all Company ships) should be carried out at a voltage exceeding the rated voltage of the circuit being tested but by no more than double. 
High voltage insulation testers must not be used on alternator rotor or exciter windings, which are rated for low voltage operation. Rectifiers and other semiconductor devices are also incorporated in this equipment and the application of a high reverse voltage would cause serious damage to these devices. High voltage insulation testers must not be used on any part of electronic control circuits. 
As a general rule, all motors not fitted with operational heaters should be tested prior to starting after a prolonged shutdown period. 
Megger readings of all electrical equipments are to be taken every 3 months and recorded on the form TEC/ 020 The report can be filled in over the course of the 3 months every time resistance readings are taken.

A ship-specific condition may require that further equipment or systems are categorised as critical, e.g. a cargo hold fan on a container vessel is not normally considered a critical component. However, if the vessel carries a dangerous cargo that requires that the ambient temperature be kept below a certain temperature, such a fan for that particular cargo hold may become a critical component. 
In view of this it is the Master, Chief Engineer and Chief Officer’s responsibility to, on a continuous basis, make an assessment of the vessel operational conditions in order to identify further equipment that, due to the ship-specific conditions, becomes a critical item as defined above. Such Risk Assessments may also justify, based on backups, control measures, additional actions/precautions taken etc that the equipment in question need not be categorized as critical equipment provided such actions are in place. The responsibility of identifying such equipments either way lies with the Master and Chief Engineer of the vessel in consultation with the SDC. With Office approval, the final list of critical equipments should be recorded in the OPCP manual (Ref. Sec.10.1), identified in vessel’s PMS and maintained accordingly. 
The Vessel’s Planned Maintenance System should take into account methods to promote reliability of the same which may involve regular maintenance, testing/changeover as applicable. The guidelines given in the instruction manuals for the operation, maintenance and repair for the equipment are to be followed. 
A written procedure should be readily available within the engine room which should be specific to the particular ship in order to identify relevant controls. The procedure should include the following guidance, where applicable, on how to 
 Regain power from the emergency to the main switchboard; 
 Charge the air receivers for the main diesel generators in order to provide electrical power to all auxiliaries (fuel and lubricating oil pumps and the boiler supply); 
 Restart all auxiliaries; 
 Restart the main engine and boiler. 
Emergency Steering should be tested and recorded within every 3 months period from the last date done. 
Any change in operating parameters, such as changing alarm set points, etc., are to be carried out only in consultation and agreement with the Company. 
Any failure of identified critical equipment should be immediately reported to the office. All efforts including availing the assistance of shore repair facilities must be made to have the defect in the critical equipment rectified at the earliest opportunity. A risk assessment should be carried out to assess the feasibility of continued safe operation of the vessel in case the failed critical equipment cannot be repaired with the facilities available on board or in that port as applicable and Office informed of the same. It shall be ensured that the control actions identified in the Risk Assessment to

mitigate the risks are kept in force until the critical equipment is satisfactorily repaired and put back in to service. Refer. Contingency Plans Manual Sec. 2.03.033 – ‘Failure of Critical Equipment’. 
All maintenance performed on critical equipment should be under the supervision of the vessel’s Chief Engineer. 
All vessels if Critical equipment needs to be taken out of service for routine maintenance, it is recommended that a full Risk Assessment be carried out and sent to appropriate levels of shore management for approval, prior to taking the equipment out of service.

3.09 Piping Systems 
3.09.01 Integrity of Pipes and Valves 
As far as possible a periodic visual examination of all piping systems on board must be carried out. The Company acknowledges that the feasibility of this depends on the position of pipes onboard the vessel and that, for instance deck and engine room piping above the floor plates, are generally examined on a daily basis by officers passing by whereas others can only be examined under special circumstances for example pipes in cargo or ballast spaces. However, a concerted effort must be made to visually check all piping on board at intervals not exceeding 6 months. Use of mirrors can be considered to inspect hidden areas of piping systems. 
In particular the condition of flanges, couplings, expansion pieces and other potential sources of leakage should be checked. Other points of attention are valve integrity, pipe external coatings, cathodic protection when fitted, heat tracing, pipe supports and support linings, vent pipes' shut-off devices. Also Ballast piping close to heated cargo oil tanks will need careful inspection, the area being corrosion prone. 
Manifold blank flanges must also be fitted correctly with all fixing bolts in position. Careful checks on there condition must be carried out as per interval stated above. Plate thickness of all manifold blanks must be equivalent to the thickness of the pipe manifold flange they are fitted to. 
Valves which are not used daily must be checked regularly to ensure they are still operable and free. Sea valves in systems which are shut down must be kept closed. Main sea inlet and intermediate valves should be kept closed in shallow water ports and inland berths with muddy bottoms, in so far as port activities allow. Notices must be placed in the engine control room and on the bridge alerting officers to these valves being closed. 
Whenever remote control valves are overhauled, particular care is to be taken during reassembly to verify that the actual valve position and the indicated valve position are consistent.

Bunker lines, including relief valves, pressure gauges, any non-metallic hoses for transfer of oil or hazardous material to, from or within each vessel are to be tested on an annual basis. For vessels trading into the United States, it is strongly recommended that testing of bunker lines is effected prior to each bunkering operation. 
Pressure Testing of bunker lines shall be carried out hydraulically (static liquid pressure) and not 
pneumatically (with air). The test pressure shall be 100% of their rated working pressure (MAWP) and 
carried out at least annually. 
Bunker pipelines should be tested to 1.5 times their rated working pressure at least twice within any 
5 year period. Pipelines should be marked with the date and the test pressure 
Pollution prevention precautions as appropriate should be taken and the gauges used for pressure testing should be calibrated before carrying out the pressure tests. 
The test pressure and date of testing is to be marked in White Paint on a Black Background in letters and figures 50mm high. 
For the Cargo Lines the marking is to be on each pipe on the Main Deck and for Bunker Lines near to the Bunkering Manifold on both sides of the vessel. 
Pressure tests on piping systems shall be recorded in the log books. 
For Cargo and Ballast line pressure testing procedures, please refer to: 
Doc. 5180 - Tanker Safety Manual - Sec.1.02.02 (for Oil Tankers) 
Doc. 4966 - Chemical Tanker Manual - Sec. 6.05 (for Chemical Tankers). 
Doc. 6807 - Gas Tanker Manual - Sec.1.4 (for Gas Tankers) 
Detailed Ship Specific Procedure and test values shall be recorded in the ‘Operational Procedures Booklet (OPCP) – Doc. 7187. 
3.10 Precautions against Freezing 
Precautions must be taken to prevent damage being sustained by the freezing of water in the various services, whilst maintaining as far as is practicable the efficiency of the ship and the comfort and amenities for all on board. Although the Chief Engineer is responsible for taking precautions to avoid frost damage to all pipe systems, pumps, machinery and the chief officer for precautions with regard to cargo lines, their mutual cooperation in the forewarning of frost and the implementation of precautionary measures is required if damage and discomfort are to be avoided.

Precautions against freezing will need to be taken for equipment in the engine room when temperatures there fall to near freezing point. This will only occur under dead-ship conditions or during refit in cold conditions. It should be noted that sudden changes in sea and air temperatures - are to be expected during winter months on passage from the Caribbean or Mexican Gulf to N. American ports. The checklist given in Section 3.10.06 can be used as guidance while preparing for operating in extreme cold conditions, however further precautions specific to the vessel will have to be taken. 
3.10.01 Main Engine - Freezing Precautions 
In port the cooling spaces for the cylinders, pistons, turbo-blowers, etc. should be circulated with their respective media which should be heated by the means provided. Should this not be possible, then all spaces containing water must be completely drained. 
Hand hole-doors should be removed and pipes disconnected where necessary to ensure that no pockets of water remain. The engine should be moved by the turning gear at least once a day, and during this operation the cylinders should be oiled by the hand operated gear on the mechanical lubricators. If the stay in the cold zone is prolonged, a short trial run should, if possible, be taken at least once a week after the engine has been given two complete turns by the turning gear, and all precautions taken to see that the propeller is not damaged by pack ice during the process. When the presence of pack ice is suspected, the main engine should always be started as slowly as possible. 
3.10.02 Emergency Diesel Engine - Freezing Precautions 
Water cooled emergency diesel engines not fitted with heating elements should be filled with an anti- freeze solution. The strength of this solution should be checked at regular intervals and adequate stocks of anti-freeze should be carried. 
3.10.03 Pumps & Piping Systems - Freezing Precautions 
All pumps and piping systems that are not in use must be completely drained of water. Due consideration should be given to the possibility of their refilling through passing valves and to any anticipated requirement to return them to service quickly. 
3.10.04 Bunkers - Freezing Precautions 
If fuel is carried in the forward deep tanks, all slack spaces at the after end should be topped up before the cold zone is reached to obviate transferring difficulties under freezing conditions, and also to reduce loss or contamination should forward tanks become damaged during passage through ice. 
3.10.05 Accommodation - Freezing Precautions

When destined for high latitude ports during winter months, the accommodation heating system should be thoroughly inspected and all necessary repairs carried out before reaching the cold zone. If it is necessary to shut down the system after arrival, widespread freezing up will be unavoidable, and it may not be possible to get the system working again until a more temperate climate is reached. 
3.10.06 Checklist for Precautions against Freezing 
The following steps must be taken to safeguard the Shipboard Machinery and Equipments, whilst operating the vessel in extreme cold conditions. The steps described below are only general guidelines to the Master and Chief Engineer. A checklist should be made based on below guidelines considering the vessel’s typical characteristics.

The following information should be provided as part of the initial notification: 1) Identification of the affected equipment 2) Nature of the problem 3) Why the problem cannot be handled by the crew – parts related, scale or size of the problem, location of the ship etc. 4) What is needed to correct the deficiency – parts, shore service, any other form of assistance. The Master/Chief Engineer will then liaise with the ship’s Technical Superintendent to determine if the current operation can be safely continued or if other intervention is required. Other intervention may take the form of 1) The provision of additional safe guards to manage the deficiency safely, 2) Shore assistance to repair locally, 3) Permission to move the ship to another location where the deficiency can be better repaired 4) Assistance to make such a move. The staff involved ashore and afloat shall make full use of risk assessment techniques to develop a documented appraisal of the situation, identify potential hazards and means to control these before making a final decision as to the course of action to be followed. Non-conformities and technical deficiencies must be always taken into account in the Tool box and Management meeting discussions /planning if it pertains to the job to be undertaken. 3.03 Planned Maintenance System (PMS) 3.03.01 General Maintenance of machinery and equipment must always be based upon the manufacturer's instructions, where maintenance procedures and intervals are specified. Special attention must be paid to isolation of equipment / system to prevent any accidental activation or release of hazardous substances. This is particularly required for systems that remain pressurized and/or elevated temperatures when shut down and isolated which may discharge their contents under pressure when disturbed. Maintenance routines must be planned to prevent machinery failure due to lack of scheduled maintenance. Vessels with computerized Planned Maintenance System will plan and execute the maintenance jobs in accordance with generated data base which will be updated regularly. Jobs which can only be undertaken during Dry docks will also be suitably entered in computerized PMS and consolidated list

Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement TECHNICAL OPERATIONS MANUAL-SECTION 3(3.01- 3.10)- REPAIRS, MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTIONS Document No. 5759 Approved by Director RSSC Effective Date 17-OCT-2013 Revision 10 Page 5 of 25 Site ALL generated as and when required, provided this facility exists. On vessels without computerized PMS, Dry dock related jobs will be entered and maintained in Form TEC/027 and TEC/028 (Section 3.16.01 refers.) Maintenance intervals for all equipments must be specified. Overdue items must be reported with reasons (why not completed) to the Company on a monthly basis, so that shore based personnel may follow-up and provide resources when necessary. As far as possible maintenance routines on ‘Critical’ equipments shall not be delayed or deferred. In general, the maximum percentage of deferred (Outstanding) jobs year to date should not exceed 6%. Ship staff should refer to the PMS system guide for carrying out unscheduled jobs. The planned maintenance program should include;  Details of maintenance schedules whether carried out according to running hours or calendar period, or if condition monitoring is used as a substitute.  Details referenced to equipment manufacturer’s instructions or experience, of what maintenance is required, including Safety precautions for the isolation and preparation of machinery and systems in readiness for maintenance (references to work permits, lock & tag procedures, Risk Assessments etc.).  Inspection, testing and maintenance of all safety and relief devices forming part of the system.  Historical data on maintenance and repair work which has been carried out.  Spare part inventory.  Any proposed major repairs or overhauls should have a completion schedule, with spare parts verifies as being on board or on order. The following guidelines should be adhered to  When the planned maintenance system indicates that a particular machine or item is due for attention, all routine maintenance such as greasing, oil changes, filter cleaning etc, should be done and the work recorded  The Chief Engineer does not have the discretion to alter the frequency of planned maintenance schedules without confirmation and agreement from the Company  If a machine has had abnormally low running hours since the last routine maintenance, the Chief Engineer may postpone part or all of the tasks to a later date in consultation with Company, but must report the job as maintenance not done. This may not be applicable to those items which require Time Based maintenance  Where the planned maintenance system indicates that a major overhaul is due, the Chief Engineer should verify if there has been any deterioration in performance. If it is concluded that the machine does not exhibit any deterioration in performance, the data should be discussed with the Company to determine if it is feasible to defer the overhaul to the next due date  While carrying out maintenance of any equipment as part of the PMS or otherwise, status of its Classification survey should also be verified and if classification survey is due in near future, same can be offered to class surveyor also. This way the item will not have to be opened twice i.e. once for PMS and once for Class survey. Please also refer to 4.01 and 4.02.02

Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement TECHNICAL OPERATIONS MANUAL-SECTION 3(3.01- 3.10)- REPAIRS, MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTIONS Document No. 5759 Approved by Director RSSC Effective Date 17-OCT-2013 Revision 10 Page 6 of 25 Site ALL Any vessel that does not have an operational computerized Planned Maintenance System installed must have a basic electronic spreadsheet or paper based system implemented as soon as possible after management take-over to monitor the maintenance of all critical and safety related equipment in accordance with the requirements of the ISM Code. This also applies to vessels where the computerized PMS has failed to remain effective for whatever reason for an extended period. Vessels that have a PMS notation included in their Certificate of Class, should have the latest version of the PMS installed on board and the Type Approval certificate for that specific PMS version should be available on board. 3.03.02 Responsibility It is the Master’s duty to ensure that as a minimum the guidelines and routines of the PMS are followed and completed satisfactorily. The Chief Engineer and Chief Officer are to assist him in meeting this objective. 3.03.03 Dispatch of PMS Records from Vessel to Office The Chief Engineer and Chief Officer shall compile the PMS records and forward to the Company from the first available port at the beginning of each month, through the Master. Ships may send the PMS reports by hard copy print outs generated from the program itself or in soft copies in the form of export file generated by the program / or other suitable means. This will not be required for systems that support on line viewing in Office. 3.04 Engine Room Machinery Inspection and Maintenance The Chief Engineer is entirely responsible for inspection, maintenance and repairs of all engine room machinery as per the ‘Planned Maintenance System’ (PMS). Machinery overhauls, whether to main, auxiliary or ancillary equipment should be carried out taking into consideration the manufacturers’ recommended service intervals (which should normally be used as a maximum limit), Class Survey cycles and the circumstances surrounding the operation of the machinery. Service intervals should be reduced if any of the parameters such as fuel specification, ambient conditions or abnormalities are close to manufacturers recommended limits. Where possible, internal inspections using non-invasive techniques such as sighting cylinders/pistons through scavenge ports etc. should be used to monitor machinery components. This will allow evaluation of internals and appropriate revision of service intervals. The Main Engine sump tank shall be cleaned in every routine dry-dock

LOCATION SATIFACTORY COMMENT COMMENT 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Intrinsically safe installations usually use zener barrier devices to separate parts of circuits which are installed in hazardous areas from parts which are installed in safe areas. Their function is to limit the electrical energy, which may be transferred to the parts of the circuit, which are installed in the hazardous areas under fault conditions. The energy limit is selected to ensure that an explosive mixture present in the hazardous area cannot be ignited. The barrier units are sealed and must not be opened. Testing must be confined to replacing a suspect unit with an identical spare. No other maintenance action may be permitted. Test meters must not be connected to the wiring on the hazardous side of the barrier unless they are of an approved safe type. 3.05.05 Earth faults and Insulation Testing Earth indication lamps are located on all switchboards and certain sub-switchboards. Action must be taken as soon as possible to locate and clear an earth fault as soon as the lamps have given indication. Failure to clear one fault may result in failure of supply to equipment and risk of fire or other damage to the electrical installation should a second fault occur on another phase of the same system. Insulation tests (a Megger or similar meter is supplied to all Company ships) should be carried out at a voltage exceeding the rated voltage of the circuit being tested but by no more than double. High voltage insulation testers must not be used on alternator rotor or exciter windings, which are rated for low voltage operation. Rectifiers and other semiconductor devices are also incorporated in this equipment and the application of a high reverse voltage would cause serious damage to these devices. High voltage insulation testers must not be used on any part of electronic control circuits. As a general rule, all motors not fitted with operational heaters should be tested prior to starting after a prolonged shutdown period. Megger readings of all electrical equipments are to be taken every 3 months and recorded on the form TEC/ 020 The report can be filled in over the course of the 3 months every time resistance readings are taken. 3.06 Testing Instruments and Monitoring Devices

However, if the vessel carries a dangerous cargo that requires that the ambient temperature be kept below a certain temperature, such a fan for that particular cargo hold may become a critical component. In view of this it is the Master, Chief Engineer and Chief Officer’s responsibility to, on a continuous basis, make an assessment of the vessel operational conditions in order to identify further equipment that, due to the ship-specific conditions, becomes a critical item as defined above. Such Risk Assessments may also justify, based on backups, control measures, additional actions/precautions taken etc that the equipment in question need not be categorized as critical equipment provided such actions are in place. The responsibility of identifying such equipments either way lies with the Master and Chief Engineer of the vessel in consultation with the SDC. With Office approval, the final list of critical equipments should be recorded in the OPCP manual (Ref. Sec.10.1), identified in vessel’s PMS and maintained accordingly. The Vessel’s Planned Maintenance System should take into account methods to promote reliability of the same which may involve regular maintenance, testing/changeover as applicable. The guidelines given in the instruction manuals for the operation, maintenance and repair for the equipment are to be followed. A written procedure should be readily available within the engine room which should be specific to the particular ship in order to identify relevant controls. The procedure should include the following guidance, where applicable, on how to  Regain power from the emergency to the main switchboard;  Charge the air receivers for the main diesel generators in order to provide electrical power to all auxiliaries (fuel and lubricating oil pumps and the boiler supply);  Restart all auxiliaries;  Restart the main engine and boiler. Emergency Steering should be tested and recorded within every 3 months period from the last date done. Any change in operating parameters, such as changing alarm set points, etc., are to be carried out only in consultation and agreement with the Company. Any failure of identified critical equipment should be immediately reported to the office. All efforts including availing the assistance of shore repair facilities must be made to have the defect in the critical equipment rectified at the earliest opportunity. A risk assessment should be carried out to assess the feasibility of continued safe operation of the vessel in case the failed critical equipment cannot be repaired with the facilities available on board or in that port as applicable and Office informed of the same. It shall be ensured that the control actions identified in the Risk Assessment to

Refer. Contingency Plans Manual Sec. 2.03.033 – ‘Failure of Critical Equipment’. All maintenance performed on critical equipment should be under the supervision of the vessel’s Chief Engineer. All vessels if Critical equipment needs to be taken out of service for routine maintenance, it is recommended that a full Risk Assessment be carried out and sent to appropriate levels of shore management for approval, prior to taking the equipment out of service.

The Company acknowledges that the feasibility of this depends on the position of pipes onboard the vessel and that, for instance deck and engine room piping above the floor plates, are generally examined on a daily basis by officers passing by whereas others can only be examined under special circumstances for example pipes in cargo or ballast spaces. However, a concerted effort must be made to visually check all piping on board at intervals not exceeding 6 months. Use of mirrors can be considered to inspect hidden areas of piping systems. In particular the condition of flanges, couplings, expansion pieces and other potential sources of leakage should be checked. Other points of attention are valve integrity, pipe external coatings, cathodic protection when fitted, heat tracing, pipe supports and support linings, vent pipes' shut-off devices. Also Ballast piping close to heated cargo oil tanks will need careful inspection, the area being corrosion prone. Manifold blank flanges must also be fitted correctly with all fixing bolts in position. Careful checks on there condition must be carried out as per interval stated above. Plate thickness of all manifold blanks must be equivalent to the thickness of the pipe manifold flange they are fitted to. Valves which are not used daily must be checked regularly to ensure they are still operable and free. Sea valves in systems which are shut down must be kept closed. Main sea inlet and intermediate valves should be kept closed in shallow water ports and inland berths with muddy bottoms, in so far as port activities allow. Notices must be placed in the engine control room and on the bridge alerting officers to these valves being closed. Whenever remote control valves are overhauled, particular care is to be taken during reassembly to verify that the actual valve position and the indicated valve position are consistent. 3.09.02 Testing of Bunker, Cargo & Ballast Lines

For vessels trading into the United States, it is strongly recommended that testing of bunker lines is effected prior to each bunkering operation. Pressure Testing of bunker lines shall be carried out hydraulically (static liquid pressure) and not pneumatically (with air). The test pressure shall be 100% of their rated working pressure (MAWP) and carried out at least annually. Bunker pipelines should be tested to 1.5 times their rated working pressure at least twice within any 5 year period. Pipelines should be marked with the date and the test pressure Pollution prevention precautions as appropriate should be taken and the gauges used for pressure testing should be calibrated before carrying out the pressure tests. The test pressure and date of testing is to be marked in White Paint on a Black Background in letters and figures 50mm high. For the Cargo Lines the marking is to be on each pipe on the Main Deck and for Bunker Lines near to the Bunkering Manifold on both sides of the vessel. Pressure tests on piping systems shall be recorded in the log books. For Cargo and Ballast line pressure testing procedures, please refer to: Doc. 5180 - Tanker Safety Manual - Sec.1.02.02 (for Oil Tankers) Doc. 4966 - Chemical Tanker Manual - Sec. 6.05 (for Chemical Tankers). Doc. 6807 - Gas Tanker Manual - Sec.1.4 (for Gas Tankers) Detailed Ship Specific Procedure and test values shall be recorded in the ‘Operational Procedures Booklet (OPCP) – Doc. 7187. 3.10 Precautions against Freezing Precautions must be taken to prevent damage being sustained by the freezing of water in the various services, whilst maintaining as far as is practicable the efficiency of the ship and the comfort and amenities for all on board. Although the Chief Engineer is responsible for taking precautions to avoid frost damage to all pipe systems, pumps, machinery and the chief officer for precautions with regard to cargo lines, their mutual cooperation in the forewarning of frost and the implementation of precautionary measures is required if damage and discomfort are to be avoided.

This will only occur under dead-ship conditions or during refit in cold conditions. It should be noted that sudden changes in sea and air temperatures - are to be expected during winter months on passage from the Caribbean or Mexican Gulf to N. American ports. The checklist given in Section 3.10.06 can be used as guidance while preparing for operating in extreme cold conditions, however further precautions specific to the vessel will have to be taken. 3.10.01 Main Engine - Freezing Precautions In port the cooling spaces for the cylinders, pistons, turbo-blowers, etc. should be circulated with their respective media which should be heated by the means provided. Should this not be possible, then all spaces containing water must be completely drained. Hand hole-doors should be removed and pipes disconnected where necessary to ensure that no pockets of water remain. The engine should be moved by the turning gear at least once a day, and during this operation the cylinders should be oiled by the hand operated gear on the mechanical lubricators. If the stay in the cold zone is prolonged, a short trial run should, if possible, be taken at least once a week after the engine has been given two complete turns by the turning gear, and all precautions taken to see that the propeller is not damaged by pack ice during the process. When the presence of pack ice is suspected, the main engine should always be started as slowly as possible. 3.10.02 Emergency Diesel Engine - Freezing Precautions Water cooled emergency diesel engines not fitted with heating elements should be filled with an anti- freeze solution. The strength of this solution should be checked at regular intervals and adequate stocks of anti-freeze should be carried. 3.10.03 Pumps & Piping Systems - Freezing Precautions All pumps and piping systems that are not in use must be completely drained of water. Due consideration should be given to the possibility of their refilling through passing valves and to any anticipated requirement to return them to service quickly. 3.10.04 Bunkers - Freezing Precautions If fuel is carried in the forward deep tanks, all slack spaces at the after end should be topped up before the cold zone is reached to obviate transferring difficulties under freezing conditions, and also to reduce loss or contamination should forward tanks become damaged during passage through ice. 3.10.05 Accommodation - Freezing Precautions

If it is necessary to shut down the system after arrival, widespread freezing up will be unavoidable, and it may not be possible to get the system working again until a more temperate climate is reached. 3.10.06 Checklist for Precautions against Freezing The following steps must be taken to safeguard the Shipboard Machinery and Equipments, whilst operating the vessel in extreme cold conditions. The steps described below are only general guidelines to the Master and Chief Engineer. A checklist should be made based on below guidelines considering the vessel’s typical characteristics. No. Item 1. Deck fire line must be drained of all water to prevent freezing and collapse of pipelines. 2. Hydraulic circuits exposed to cold conditions must be kept running. 3. Fresh water lines running on deck should be drained of water. 4. Electrical motors on deck should be kept running if feasible. 5. Electrical and Hydraulic cranes on deck must be kept running in idle condition throughout the stay in port. All Deck machinery must also be kept running in idle condition if situation permits. 6. Keep space heaters operational on all idle motors. 7. Sea injection chests must be regularly blown through with steam, or air to displace any packed ice from blocking the inlet. 8. If vessel has a separate internal cooling water circuit for operating Auxiliary Engines and other circuits, this must be put to use. 9. If vessel does not have a separate internal cooling water circuit, ship staff are encouraged to modify pipelines, to set up a suitable circuit. 10. Emergency generator, if Fresh water cooled, must have anti-freeze liquid put in the cooling circuit. 11. Emergency fire pump engine, if Fresh water cooled, must have anti-freeze liquid topped up in the radiator. 12. Lifeboat engine, if Fresh water cooled, must have anti-freeze liquid added to coolant. 13. If vessel is to maneuver out from a port with packed ice or floating ice around it, consider keeping tugboats to move vessel to an area, which is free of floating ice etc, before the first engine movement is given. 14. Prior starting of engines is propeller clear of packed or floating ice. 15. Confirm vessel ballasted to keep propeller clear of packed ice 16. Is Main engine on pre-heat, while in port? 17. Have you kept the HFO in bunker tanks heated?

Have you turned Main and Auxiliary Engines daily and operated the cylinder lubricators by hand? 19. If vessel has been in cold zone for more than one week, have you run engine on air and fuel for short interval after turning engine on turning gear for at least 2 turns? 20. Do you have adequate stock of anti-freeze liquid? 21. Have you ensured bunker HFO has been transferred to aft tanks? 22. Have you kept the various salt and fresh water pumps in the Engine Room running to prevent seizure due to freezing? If pumps cannot be run, have you kept the pumps drained of water? 23. Is Main Engine LO Purifier in operation and temperatures being maintained? 24. Are the HFO temperatures being maintained in then Service and settling tanks? Are the purifiers in operation? 25. Monitor engine and other machinery parameters closely when vessel is sailing or maneuvering in extreme cold conditions. 26. Have you adjusted Engine speed to avoid overloading of engine? 27. Have you kept all Watertight doors in Engine Room shut?
