Igal aastal laseb USA Rannavalve (USCG) välja video, millesse on kokku pandud päästevideode TOP. Sellel aastal on välja valitud 11 juhtumit. via gCaptain.com swfobject.embedSWF(“http://www.youtube.com/v/GQlIbfiHIFA&rel=0&fs=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=0″, “vvq-2772-youtube-1″, “425″, “355″, “10″, vvqexpressinstall, vvqflashvars, [...] Selle mereohutuse teadeande eesmärgiks on suurendada teadlikkust ja näha ette üldised reeglid kütusesüsteemide ja kütuse ümberlülitamise ohutuseks, et püüda vältida laeva käikuvuse kaotust. Hiljutine USA Rannavalve uurimus ja laevaõnnetuste ülevaade näitas, et puudused kindlate süsteemide hooldamisel ja katsetamisel, kaasaarvatud kütusesüsteemid, on käikuvuse tõrgete üheks juhtivaks põhjuseks. Nõuetele vastavad protseduurid, väljaõpe ja hooldamine on laevadele olulise [...] For many years, cargo pump engines on weather decks of Subchapter D & O tank barges had mechanical-type start and control systems. The installation of electronically controlled engines on tank barges since the 1990s has introduced non-approved electrical equipment associated with engine monitoring and control systems into hazardous locations (Class I, Division I) on thousands of tank barges nationwide. U.S. Coast Guard District Eight recognized this problem with John Deere manufactured engines and distributed enforcement guidance to their field units on November 22, 2005. Since then, John Deere has engineered retrofit packages for approximately 400 units and has gained approval from the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Safety Center for some engine models. Because of widespread use of electronically controlled engines, we suspect there may be other equipment currently in use that similarly is not designed or approved for hazardous locations. Other manufacturers of these engines will likely need to follow suit with their own retrofit packages. Continue reading USCG Marine Safety Alert – electronically-controlled cargo pump engine components The U.S. Coast Guard strongly recommends that owners and/or operators, vessel engineers, marine inspection personnel and others involved with the technical examination of machinery space equipment fully understand the critical nature and importance of fuel oil quick-closing valves (FOQCVs) and associated systems. FOQCV systems must be well maintained and tested in the same way they would be used in an emergency (e.g. close all valves on each system at the same time). Crewmember knowledge, testing, maintenance and repair, system operation and limitations, documentation, and spare parts are essential elements to review during an effective evaluation of an FOQCV system. During a fire onboard the USNS SHUGHART on March 5, 2004, more than half of the FOQCVs failed to close properly, which prevented the ship's service generators from being secured. The investigators found that the valves had not been well maintained and the testing protocol used onboard the ship did not test the valves properly. During testing, valves were closed using a hydraulic hand pump system; the quantity of oil within the system should be sufficient to close all of them. However, there is no way to determine that the system contains enough oil to close all the valves, if prior to completing the testing some of the valves are reset!
