Chapter 3. Crew management


Drug and alcohol policy:
3.11 Does the operator have a Drug and Alcohol policy meeting OCIMF
guidelines?
3.12 Record the defined maximum level of blood alcohol content: OCIMF
recommends that officers and ratings observe a period of abstinence from alcohol prior to
scheduled watch keeping duty or work periods. The objective should always be to ensure hat, prior
to going on scheduled duty the blood alcohol content of the seafarer is theoretically zero. (OCIMF
Guidelines for the control of drugs and alcohol)
3.13 Record the frequency of unannounced drug testing:
3.14 Record the frequency of unannounced alcohol testing: The frequency of
unannounced testing should be sufficient so as to serve as an effective deterrent to abuse. (OCIMF
Guidelines for the control of drugs and alcohol)
3.15 Record the date of the last unannounced on-board alcohol test:
3.16 Record the date of the last unannounced drug and alcohol test
undertaken by an external agency: Note: This should be the date of the test carried out on
board either by an independent agency or under controlled conditions by ship’s personnel with
specimens being forwarded to an independent agency.

Chapter 4. Navigation
4.18 Is the echo sounder recorder marked with a reference date and time on
each occasion it is switched on?
Note: The echo sounder recorder should be switched on prior to each approach to shallow water
and port entry and prior to departure and remain in operation while in shallow waters. The date
and time of switching on should be marked on the recorder chart. In addition, the date and time of
passing significant land or seamarks should be marked on the recorder. Many modern electronic
echo sounders have an inbuilt 24-hour memory which can be recalled. If an electronic memory is
not provided, the echo sounder should be provided with a printed record. Where an electronic
display history is provided to record trending and a VDR to record times, a “Y” response should be
made, together with a short explanation in Other comments.

Navigation equipment:
All ships of 150 gt and upwards:
4.26.5 A properly adjusted standard magnetic compass. A spare magnetic compass,
interchangeable with the standard magnetic compass, shall be carried unless a steering compass
or gyro compass is fitted. The magnetic compass shall be properly adjusted and its table or curve
of residual deviations shall be available at all times.
4.26.8 A spare magnetic compass. This should be interchangeable with the standard compass.
A spare magnetic compass is not required if a steering compass or a gyro compass is fitted.
4.26.27 A properly adjusted magnetic compass. Or other means independent of any power
supply, to determine the ship’s heading and display the reading at the main steering position.

Chapter 8. Cargo and ballast systems – gas


Cargo lifting equipment:
8.84 Are all cargo derricks, cranes and other lifting equipment properly marked
and has periodical testing and inspection been carried out? Notes: Cargo lifting
equipment should be load tested every five years and thoroughly examined by a competent person
annually. Other lifting equipment is not regulated except as usually required by class, but should
be tested and examined under a similar regime. The minimum SWL for which testing is required is
one tonne (1,000 kgs). A Chain Register is not required, but there must be documentation
supporting test and examination.
8.85 Are winches associated with lifting equipment in a satisfactory condition?
Note: Cargo derrick topping lifts should have a means of securing them, such as a locking pin or
ratchet, to prevent the weight of the derrick being solely taken by the winch brake. Check that this
is fitted and that it and any associated winches are in good condition.

11.11 Does the operator subscribe to a fuel, lubricating and hydraulic oil
