4.0 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION

th
Statutory and Class Certificates were examined and found satisfactory. Vessel completed UWILD 19
st
January 2012, special survey, docking and shafts are due on 01 March 2014.

Navigation and communication equipment considered satisfactory.

Fire Fighting Appliances and Life Saving Equipment considered satisfactory. Service dates of LSA and
FFA were found valid and the required certificates were held onboard.

Pyrotechnics and Line Throwing Apparatus found valid, so also the GMDSS radio, SART and EPIRB
batteries.

No significant defects were noted to the vessel’s main structure. The hull as sighted and the exposed
decks were found structurally sound with good paint cover.

Deck Fittings and Equipment were generally in good condition, towing winch, tugger and capstan
have not been in use for a long period as the last towing job done was in July 2012.

Accommodation and Store Rooms are very well maintained with good house-keeping evident.

The following areas need attention

1. Propeller damage noted by class has to be addressed at the next docking.

2. The cement box inside No 4 (P) FW tank needs to be broken up to see why it was put there.
3. Indentations on both quarters to be dealt with.
4. Fenders on ship side forecastle (P) a total of four Nos. need to be renewed.

Page 12 of 24
 5. Towing winch to be put through a line pull test.
6. AE No. 1 showing common fault due to which it cannot be synchronized with AE 2 and 3.
7. ME alarms – visual alarm found working but audible alarm is not.

The Master, Chief engineer and crew were found helpful. The survey was carried out with full co-
operation of the ship’s staff without any delay to the vessel or its operations and with minimal
disruption to the vessel’s staff.

Our examination was made without any removals or opening up to expose parts ordinarily concealed
or testing for tightness and is subject to any conditions which would have been revealed if such
procedures had been accomplished. Further no determination of stability characteristics or inherent
structural integrity has been made and no opinion is expressed thereto.

In our opinion the tug “PW Resource” is in good condition with all documentation up to date as
revealed by the certificates.
