Case Study:
Port state control inspector on board of
your ship discovers that one Engine
room Fire Damper can not be closed.
This is a detainable deficiency.
what would you do?
Immediate corrective
action
1. Get the Damper operational (prove
to the inspector the ship will be safe
to sail)
2. Suspend other less important jobs if
necessary
3. Let a Senior officer accompany the
inspector
4. Be honest dont play games
5. You may show to the PSC inspector
previous maintenance records
CHINA MSA
1.The MSA are not out to catch faults
2.The MSA must comply with the IMO rules on PSC. Detainable
items are detainable items and all deficiencies are to be dealt
with. There is no arguing with that and China MSA are almost
always factually right: there is a deficiency and it has to be
dealt with
3.The MSA give the Master a Ship Initial Inspection Checklist
when they come on board and the Master can pro-actively
inform the boarding inspectors of any known deficiencies on his
ship, and what has been done about them (asked and obtained
dispensation from Hong Kong Marine Department, informed
Seaspan office, repair is arranged and confirmed, class have
attended and given dispensation or a statement in writing to
give a time window for rectification in other words there is
evidence that action has been taken and the system works)
4.The MSA want to see that the safety management system
works, they do not expect that the ship is perfect and they do
allow for honest mistakes.
CHINA MSA
1.BUT if deficiencies are not pro-actively reported, and then
discovered by the boarding inspectors or prompt action to
rectify deficiencies is not taken, then everything changes (their
words)
2.You never get a second chance to make a good first impression
and the inspectors mind is already 90% made up when he
walks to the gangway, climbs on board and has his first
encounter with the ship and the crew. If that first impression is
not good, then he knows he will find deficiencies. By the time he
gets to the ships office or Masters cabin, his mind is 98% made
up.
3.Ships staff and we shall not hesitate to pro-actively inform
MSA/PSC of deficiencies and actions taken, we must get
dispensations from MarDep (who have a 24/7 service and Hong
Kong MarDep are very good at responding to such requests), get
Class involved (it costs an attendance fee, but if Class gives
dispensation or extended time to rectify then MSA will not
object) when we have deficiencies above all we have to be
pro-active and show that the management system works .
MLC Inspection: The AMSA Inspector went through the documentation initially and
then took a round of the Deck, Accommodation as well as the Engine Room.
The Inspector checked the following in relation to the MLC
- He was shown the Maritime Labour Certificate and the Declaration of Maritime
Labour Compliance (DMLC Part I & DMLC Part II).
- He asked for the work and rest hours and checked the same with the arrival and
departure times for some ports randomly.
- He also checked that the total hours worked for ratings matched with the overtime
report.
- The Employment agreement, Medical certificates as well as the Flag State and
National Certificates were checked for all crew.
- He asked for the onboard complaint procedure and was told regarding the same.
He asked the Bosun as well as the Gangway watchman whether they had any
complaints on board. When they replied in negative, they were asked the procedure
if any complaints were to arise. They replied that a copy of the on-board complaint
handling procedure was given to them and they would follow the same.
The Inspector was satisfied with the answers given.
The Inspector while taking rounds of the Accommodation checked the galley,
pantries, provision stores, reefer chambers, hospital and also checked 2 crew cabins
randomly.
