Maintenance of Sea Water/Sanitary Piping in Engine Rooms and Sea Water Piping on Weather Decks

Tec No.:TEC- 322 (189kb)

Contact:

Issued:4 Aug 1999

PLEASE BE INFORMED THAT Port State Control (PSC) inspectors have been pointing out deficiencies in many divergences during their recent inspections, which result in detentions of many ships. Among the deficiencies the largest number reported was in the category "Others" which includes repairs by taping and/or putting pad plates on sea water/sanitary piping in Engine Room and sea water piping on weather decks. These detentions are judged to be attributable to the fact that the PSC inspectors do not recognize taping and putting pad plates as effective means of permanent repairs for piping. It is, therefore, recommended to provide for the measures listed below in the event of damage to the piping in engine rooms and on weather decks while at sea. 1.
