Fixed Fire Fighting System

A CO2 fixed fire fighting system was found installed in the forward JP5 room. The system was reportedly connected in service until disconnected at the current maintenance period for the annual fire fighting system inspection.

The following items were noted:

1. The modification related to installation of the JP5 Room CO2 Fixed Fire Fighting System was reported to be incomplete/in-progress according to the client’s records though the system had actually been placed in service evidently some time in or 2021.

2. An installation and commissioning report was not available at the time of the survey and no record was available that the system was presented for surveyor examination following installation.

3. Operation instructions were not posted at the CO2 bottles or the remote release station. Operation manual was not available on board and a description had not been included in the vessel SOLAS / fire fighting training manual.

Maintenance tasks are to be added to vessel preventative maintenance system per SOLAS requirements. It was noted that the

JP5

Room system is unique from the existing vessel

CO2

systems in that it has an automatic release function.

Found IT WAS REPORTED that the ballast suction piping connected to port aft sea chest and serving General Services, Fire Pump, port side was found holed. The hole is located approximately 1.5 meter before the pump at 18:00 position looking forward. The crew installed a temporary repair patch using fiberglass. The repair was tested to MAWP and found satisfactory. The damaged section of pipe spool can be isolated on both sides of the holed section by closing two (2) ballast valves leaving the pipe spool dry. The pipe spool serves the emergency sea suction, so if not in use then blank off the damaged section of pipe to avoid further pipe deterioration. Risk assessment from the Master only verbal due to Master's workload. Mitigating action is to keep the pipe spool dry and isolated as much as possible. If schedule permits a new spool will replace the holed spool in the January 07-21 2024 VR-period.
