Selected Item Details
Item No.: 03
Site: Potable Water-Bunkering
Violation: Per the log, at 0930, the engineering staff tested the halogen residual and recorded a value of 2.3 ppm. At 0932, the bunkering operation was tested with readings of 1.69 ppm and 1.57ppm (inspector) and 1.85ppm (engineer). The inspector checked his instrument using his secondary test standards. All calibration measurements were within acceptable ranges. The ship was bunkering to a tank which had very little water. A test was conducted at the tank and the halogen residual measured at 0.91ppm.
Recommendation:Ensure that potable water is continuously halogenated to at least 2.0 mg/L (ppm) free residual halogen at the time of bunkering or production with an automatic halogenation device that is controlled by a flow meter.
