The day before the survey, Class NK Surveyor checked the survey application with C/E’s report in his office and he noticed that the date of inspection recorded on the report was exceeded from the due date of CMS. Unfortunately, the surveyor did not accept C/E’s report due to the above situation and Tech S/I decided to withdraw the survey application. Only cargo gear survey was accepted to carry out at this time..
DETAILS / OUTLINE OF INCIDENT. What is CMS ?? – Refer below as part of GUIDANCE OF CONTUNUOUS MACHINERY SURVEY (CMS) published by Class NK. The Continuous Machinery Survey (CMS) System is to aim to grasp the general condition of the whole machinery and equipment by opening up a part of the machinery and equipment through reasonable procedures in a continuously and systematically planned manner. This, of course, can only be achieved when the attending Surveyor is provided with accurate information on the ship’s side (Ship-Owner or Ship Management Company, here-in-after to call “Shipping Company”) maintenance at every occasion of CMS..
DETAILS / OUTLINE OF INCIDENT. The points of CMS system are as follows: (1) The survey items of CMS specified in Chapt . 9, Part B of the Rules may be overhauled and examined according to the ship’s maintenance schedule in such a manner that all of them are opened up for survey once within a cycle not exceeding 5-year period..
LOSSES. 1) Cancellation of CMS at Nagoya ..
POSSIBLE CAUSE. IMMEDIATE CAUSE: It was recognized that relevant equipment and machineries were overhauled, there would be no problem even the date of inspection exceeded due date of CMS..
POSSIBLE CAUSE. B) Root Cause 1) Inadequate supervision by PIC 2) Incorrect procedure for the CMS report. 3) Inadequate familiarization of CMS requirement.
ACTION TAKEN BY VESSEL. Tech S/I postponed CMS survey at next port, New Westminster, Canada with corrected C/E’s report. 2) Master sent Deficiency report to Tech S/I of what deficiency was found with C/E’s clarification. 3) SMS occasional audit was conducted at Nagoya on 27th December 2022 to investigate the planned maintenance procedure onboard and practical job maintenance interviewed to Master and C/E..
RECURRENCE PREVENTION. Prevention of Recurrence ashore When a machinery and equipment specified in CMS was overhauled, C/E should prepare the inspection report for next Class NK survey and send it to Tech/ S/I in advance of CMS due date. For machinery and equipment overhauled more than one time according to PMS ( e.g. M/E piston, or emergency overhaul of machinery due to trouble) Tech. S/I shall decide submission to Class NK on next scheduled survey in consideration of due date in CMS schedule..
RECURRENCE PREVENTION. The next due date of the item will be 5 years from the date of the inspection regardless the date of Confirmatory Survey. The due date will be set up as the end of the month of 5 years from the month of the Confirmatory Survey..

DETAILS / OUTLINE OF INCIDENT. By February 3, 2023, both the CIRM and our Chinese doctor had confirmed that it was not necessary to conduct an evacuation by a local doctor in Brazil. We were concerned about the possible negative effects on Wiper wound from disembarking/embarking our ship, which had a high gangway, as well as from launching and docking the boat to/from the mainland, which could cause rolling and pitching. On February 6, 2023, we assessed Wiper's condition and found that he could walk and move slowly on his own, and his leg bone was in good condition. He had no fever, and the wound was not painful, warm, or surrounded by red skin. The wound was healing well and progressing as expected.
