Red Flags Identified<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Red Flag 1 \u2013 Risk Assessment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Observation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

RA for single hose handling during crane operation was available; however, supporting SMS guidance or company procedure defining RA requirements could not be demonstrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Risk<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Potential SIRE observation due to lack of procedural linkage and objective evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Include RA requirements clearly within SMS.
\u2022 Cross-reference RA forms with applicable procedures.
\u2022 Train officers on locating SMS references.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Red Flag 2 \u2013 Defect Management Summary<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Observation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

No printed open defect summary available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although defect history and closure records were demonstrated through SERTICA, inspector specifically recommended maintaining a readily available defect summary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Risk<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

May create negative perception regarding defect tracking and management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Maintain printed Open Defect List.
\u2022 Maintain Closed Defect Tracking Report.
\u2022 Keep monthly defect trend analysis available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Red Flag 3 \u2013 ENC Update Knowledge<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Observation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Strong focus placed on ENC correction management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspector expects officers to explain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Weekly update process.
\u2022 Independent update of each ECDIS.
\u2022 Monitoring first ECDIS after update before updating second ECDIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Risk<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Frequently observed SIRE challenge area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Conduct dedicated ECDIS update familiarization training for all deck officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Red Flag 4 \u2013 SMS Reference Familiarity<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Observation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the inspection, repeatedly requested SMS references rather than accepting verbal answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Risk<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Officers may know procedures but fail to demonstrate objective evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Conduct SMS navigation exercises for all officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Red Flag 5 \u2013 Crew PTW Awareness<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Observation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Random crew members were questioned regarding:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Enclosed Space Entry
\u2022 Working Overside Permit
\u2022 Stop Work Authority
\u2022 PTW Requirements<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Risk<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Crew confidence and consistency of responses remain a critical SIRE assessment area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommendation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Conduct targeted PTW toolbox talks before inspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
