26 IV. Conclusion Basing in the physical survey and inspection conducted, our general impression is that the vessel is not properly maintained reasons why there are dry docking items that is supposedly can be done prior to dry-docking and while vessel is waiting at anchorage for days (just supply the needed materials and extra man-power). These are the jobs like chipping and painting of deck areas; bollards and bitts; winches; watertight doors; ladders/stairs, etc., If this is done as per Plan Maintenance System, owner will save on cost and time element in the dry-docking period. We can therefore conclude that there is no existing Electronic Plan Maintenance System that will remind on time, the Ship Manager and the Ship Owner that there are critical items that will be due for maintenance or replacement. The Electronic Plan Maintenance System is based on every equipment s maker maintenance manual s recommendation ref to accurate maintenance procedures and intervals. Being prepared, professional, pro-active and predicted are best traits of a seasoned Ship Manager. Operating the vessel based in a structured Plan Maintenance System and Regime will save the owner in spending unwarranted money and loosing valuable time. Now that Port State Control and MARINA inspections are always unannounced and nobody can tell where and when they will board the vessel. Worst is if they found numbers of major risk items on board, they have the capacity and authority to hold the vessel rightfully whether empty or loaded and this will cost much to the owner in paying demurrage to charterer or a waiting time for all their client s cargoes and supply chain will surely be greatly affected. In the case of our MV Marina Kalikasan, going through Chapter II - under our Physical Inspection (with pictures), you can well observed that there are numerous high risk observations that is not acceptable to maritime standards and violating general safety being adhere from existing Maritime Law and Regulations. We can clearly state that the attitude of our domestic shipping manager that reflects to the same traditional attitude of our domestic seafarers is a risk that anytime may lead to unwanted eventualities and if we will not have a paradigm shift we will end up losing lives, properties and risk to our marine environments, continuously in our domestic shipping. (Latest is the vessel MV Fortuner of Sam Shipping Company, that sustained a crack in the middle of her hull and sank around 6 am Sunday 7 th May 2017, only about a kilometer away from shore line). There are companies that shut down due to major incidents and no cargo owner dreamed of reading their Company s Name in the news connected with major sea disaster that will surely create a bad name to all the Company s clients. Operating the vessel safely, promptly and efficiently cost also money and time. But, being predictive and pro-active will determine all possible unwarranted events going thru a very detailed risk assessments that must be known to both the Ship Manager and Ship Owner this is where all concerned party decide wisely and timely to save money and time. Page 26 of 27

27 V. Recommendations As for our vessel MV Marina Kalikasan the hull and superstructure are still in top condition and there is no doubt that only through proper maintenance it will still last for more years of sailing through any type of weather as long as it is still strictly monitor by RINA s Classification Standards. Going thru the Hull and Machinery compliance issue, as we mentioned there will be no problem with the Hull, but with regards to the Machinery there is a big room for analyzing best whether it is still wise to maintain the vessel under the fleet or accept the possibility of selling the vessel, as-is. The only reason is because the maker of the main engine of the vessel is already non-existing and it will be very difficult to out-sourced needed spare parts. We can always opt to fabrications but there is no guarantee that life-span of operations will always be the same as in normal and same original spare parts in the main and auxiliary engines. The vessel is already 43 years old and maintaining a vessel at this age will really cost much and another factor is we are already inviting unwanted eventualities to occur. There are still younger vessels in the market that we can consider or even build a new one for a younger fleet and longer life-span and most especially lesser headaches in stoppages and delays in between charter periods. Again, it is worth mentioning the latest incident of the vessel MV Fortuner of Sam Shipping Company, that sustained a crack in the middle of her hull and sank around 6 am Sunday 7 th May 2017, only about a kilometer away from shore line. Applying the best traits of a ship manager and emanating the same traits by all vessel crew this will avoid unwarranted incidents; Being Prepared prior to every vessel departure, that nobody is sure if your will be facing bad weather or any unforeseen events, it is best to always have all the critical spares needed by all machinery and equipment and as well as the vessel s crew. Being Professional be able to relay to Ship Owner the actual condition of the vessel. Giving all detailed condition vis-à-vis with accurate Risk Assessment that will enable the Ship Owner to best foresight scenario that will help Owner decide based on accurate facts. Being Pro-Active acting before a known risk arise will save money and time. There is no point acting at once even risk existed just for the word compliance. Being reactive is one attitude that always leads to disaster. Being Predictive an equipment, machinery and even people depict and portray premonitions before unwanted events will arise. We can observe abnormalities in sounds, pressure, temperatures, normal behavioral pattern. And if will act straightly based on these present abnormal observations, we will be able to predict incident and avoiding and mitigate risk factors. Page 27 of 27
