F - CONCLUSION

The vessel is generally structualy sound.

All Certificates are valid. They have been extended by BV Class until 20 April 2012 due to unavailability of Drydock in the area for the completion of Special Surveys Hull and Machinery. No Condition of Class is imposed by BV Class.

Last dry-docking was carried out in 26 August 2010.

Thickness measurement report was checked and all results are reasonably above the limits.

Last Condition Evaluation Report as per SOLAS requirement for ESP vessels was reviewed and reflect the good condition of the vessel.

Loading of cargoes of density 1.78 T/m3 and over is not allowed in any hold.

Navigation and communication equipment are IMO approved and were reported to be operational.

Lifesaving appliances and firefighting equipment are of an approved type and in accordance with the safety plan.

Accommodation was found in general good condition – internally and externally. Cabins and Mess Rooms are spacious, comfortable, clean and tidy.

Weather deck plating, bulwarks, guard rails, vent pipes, sounding pipes, watertight openings, deck piping, etc, are generally in satisfactory condition. No significant damage or corrosion was noticed except for the weather deck which shows spots of corrosion.

Windlass, anchors, chains, fairleads, bits, etc are generally in satisfactory condition.

There is a spare propeller on board.

The shell plating is in sound condition as far as it could be seen. There are scattered small indentations and rusty spots on the topside. The coating of the topside is generally in good condition. No significant corrosion or damage was observed.

The cargo holds were found maintained in general good condition. The internal shell plating with its attached frames were observed to be in general overall Good condition. No significant corrosion or damage was noticed in all cargo hold. Painting condition on side shell plating was found to be Good.



Hatch covers are steel folding type, hydraulically operated. Hatch coaming tables and stays are maintained in good condition. Compression bars, cleats, wheels, etc are maintained in general good condition. Rubber packing is almost new with negligible permanent imprint.

The vessel is fitted with 4 pedestal mounted cranes ,located on Main Deck at centre line between cargo holds. All cargo gear was reported to be operational, but no test could be carried out. No damage was observed.The SWL was reduced from 25Mt to 20Mt on 05/08/2007 at owner request.

The four ballast tanks were available for inspection: Fore Peak Tank, TST 3 Port, TST 3 Stbd. And Aft Peak. Structurally, all inspected tanks were found in general sound condition. These tanks were found with anode protection. The effectiveness of their coating was as follow:

Fore Peak Tank: FAIRo 60% Top Tank Areao 80% Mid and bottom tank areas

TST 3 Port: FAIR to GOODo 90% overall

TST 3 Stbd.: FAIRo 70% overall

Aft Peak Tank: FAIRo 70% overall

The engine room was found clean and tidy with no signs of leakages. From the records reviewed, it seems well maintained as per the maintenance plan and as per the manufacturers’ recommendations.

Main Engine was found in general external good condition with no signs of leaks. The engine was not tested at this time but a review of its running data showed that all parameters were within the manufacturer recommendation. A review of the maintenance record has shown that there are no overdue items.

The three (3) Auxilliary Engines were found in general external good condition with no signs of leaks. Both A/E # 2 & 3 were seen under load. A review of their running data showed that all parameters were within the manufacturer recommendation. A review of the maintenance record has shown that there are no overdue items.

Pipes, pumps and other equipment are generally in a good external condition.

Due to international crisis and to unavailability of drydocks in Algeria to complete her Special Survey, the vessel has not carried any cargo since three months, so no any recent performance record with the ship in normal trading condition were found.



The vessel was in a fixed trade carrying sugar from Latin America to Algeria.

Last PSC inspection report was reviewed from Paris MOU Norway dated 08 November 2011. This was an expanded inspection. Only one deficiency was reported related to hygiene in the provision store which was rectified within 2 days.
