2 | 03-2017.1 | 9/1/2015 | HAL - Various Vessels | Between September 2015 and October 2016, vessel discharges in contravention of NOAA's marine sanctuary regulations were identified on 4 PCL ships and 1 HAL ship. Discharges were within the expanded boundaries of the Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary. Discharges were food waste, processed permeate, untreated grey water, membrane bioreactor sludge (not oil), advanced wastewater treatment system permeate, exhaust gas cleaning system ("EGCS") wash water, and treated sewage. | EGCS Voyage Planning | Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary waters | TRUE | Food waste, processed permeate, untreated grey water, membrane bioreactor sludge, advanced wastewater treatment system permeate, EGCS wash water and treated sewage | 13_months | Dumping | |||||||||||||||
3 | 03-2017.2 | 9/18/2016 | PCL Grand Princess | On December 2, 2016, while making preparations for the Grand Princess' voyage, the EO and the Voyage Planning Officer held a voyage planning meeting. During this meeting it was discovered that an "Environmental Limit Marker" on the planned track, similar to ones used for the 4 NM and 12 NM limits, was within the boundaries of the Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary. There were no "Environmental Limit Markers" around the boundaries of the expanded Cordell Bank and Greater Farallones Marine Sanctuaries. This discovery led to an investigation into whether the "Environmental Limit Marker" had been used during the 2016 summer season when the ship was sailing between San Francisco and Alaska. The initial internal investigation, conducted by the EO, confirmed that the ship had been discharging various waste streams as detailed in Annex 1 between May 11, 2016, and September 18, 2016, within the expanded boundaries of the Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary. | Not Applicable | Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary waters | TRUE | Various waste streams | 5_months | Dumping | |||||||||||||||

5 | CAM-00313 | 2/9/2017 | PCL Emerald Princess | Shore side was informed that on November 29, 2017, Maritime New Zealand filed criminal charges against PCL for two alleged violations of New Zealand’s Maritime Transport Act 1994 in connection with a fatal accident on board the Emerald Princess while docked in Port Chalmers, New Zealand on or about February 9, 2017. A high-pressure nitrogen cylinder burst while being re- pressurized, which resulted in the death of an Emerald Princess crew member standing nearby. The Transport Accident Investigation Commission (TAIC) in New Zealand investigated the incident and issued an interim report on May 10, 2017, concluding that the burst nitrogen cylinder had suffered significant corrosion at the point of failure. A metallurgist’s initial assessment also concluded that the failure had occurred as a result of overload caused by corrosion thinning. | Not Applicable | TRUE | Missing/Broken Parts | ||||||||||||||||||
6 | 01-17 | 4/9/2017 | Costa Deliziosa | On April 9, 2017, two Italian Coast Guard Petty Officers boarded the vessel for routine collection of MARPOL marine gas samples.

7 | 08-2017.1 | 4/19/2017 | AIDAluna | The ORB was not signed by an EO from April 19, 2017, to May 5, 2017, and from June 27, 2017, through August 18, 2017. Both the Captain and the Chief Engineer continued to sign each page during this period. There was an EO handover during this period, which may have been a contributing factor. The departing EO explained that he forgot to sign the completed ORB pages the referenced time periods. The boarding EO expected further clarification of the significance of her signature, so she did not sign the completed ORB pages from July 11, 2017 to August 18, 2017. The AIDA Environmental Manager was onboard at the time the issue was discovered. He discussed it with the current EO, who then signed all completed ORB pages from July 11, 2017, to August 18, 2017. The prior EO visited the ship on August 19, 2017, to sign the completed ORB pages and did so for those from June 27, 2017, to July 11, 2017, but forgot to sign the pages from April 19, 2017 to May 5, 2017.

11 | ECP 17-07-02 | 5/1/2017 | PCL Sun Princess | The EO sent an email to the HR department, with a copy to technical operations, providing notification that the Chief Engineer discovered that the solenoid valve on one of the OWS had been replaced with piping. The Chief Engineer noticed the missing solenoid valve sitting next to the OWS, and he replaced the piping with the valve. Based on AMOS maintenance records, the Chief Engineer believes that he identified the Engineer that implemented the piping. AMOS records indicate that the solenoid valve was due to be cleaned on routine basis (monthly), and the most recent AMOS record for such maintenance indicated that the cleaning had recently been performed/completed by the engineer in question. The engineer, however, went on leave two days prior to the Chief Engineer’s discovery of the piping. The HAG Safety Env. and Regulatory Services (SERS) group – Paul McClelland (the OLCM) and Kelly Clark (Senior VP) – received word of the issue via the technical operations group. SERS directed Jeanne Grasso (Blank Rome) to fly to Australia and board the ship on June 29, conduct an investigation into the issue, and disembark on July 1. | OWS/Whitebox | FALSE | Missing/Broken Parts | ||||||||||||||||||

16 | CAM-00424 | 5/9/2017 | PCL Star Princess | On May 15 and 16, 2017, PCL self-reported two separate test results of samples taken from the Star Princess on May 9, 2017, which indicated that the vessel's Biological Oxygen Demand ("BOD") levels exceeded the daily maximum allowed. PCL had the vessel's Membrane Bioreactors (the "MBR") inspected and discovered that blown gaskets created air leaks that caused the devices to become insufficiently aerated. To rectify the problem, PCL cleaned and sanitized the tanks, serviced the system, increased aeration in the buffer tank, added an additional 0.5 liters of Heeburn Bio ET to each jet, and revised the MBRs' desludging frequencies. On July 13, 2017, PCL received a Notice in response to these self-reported violations, plus three additional violations regarding daily and monthly BOD exceedances. | Not Applicable | TRUE | Missing/Broken Parts | ||||||||||||||||||

63 | 007_2017-AT | 7/1/2017 | Costa Atlantica | During an overboard discharge performed through newly installed oil coalescent filtering equipment, the BCDB stopped the overboard discharge due to the OCM showing 18 ppm of oil. The pressure on the delivery side of the OWS was also higher than expected. A test was performed by filling the reading cell with drinking water; however, the oil content still showed 18 ppm of oil. Since previous days, it was also noted that the pressure of the delivery side of the oily water separation circuit of both OWS [coalescent and centrifugal] was higher than expected, causing abnormal noisy working conditions for the pump and consequent line's vibrations. On 18th July, a third-party vendor identified the root cause in a malfunction of the OMD of the BCDB connected to the Westfalia OWS.

93 | 021_2017-MA | 7/19/2017 | HAL Maasdam | The ship sailed in an air emission control area for 45 minutes running an engine on HFO due to the EGCS being accidentally stopped. Three DGs running during the approach and arrival into Charlottetown. Two DGs were running on MGO (DG1 and DG3) and one generator was running on HFO (DG5) with EGCS in operation. Although not required, in order to keep the system running and flushing, the EGCS on DG 3 was also running. Shortly before ‘red manning’ status for arrival, the scrubber of DG 3 was shut down to enable cleaning of the sea chest. Due to an internal communication error, the scrubber of DG5 (on HFO) was accidentally shut down as well. Between 07:44 and 08:26, DG 5 was running on HFO without the scrubber in operation. DG1 and DG3 were in operation on MGO at all times. As soon as it was identified that the EGCS for DG5 had been shut down (DG5 still on HFO) the ship changed over from DG5 to DG4. DG4 was already operating on MGO. As soon as the DG4 was on the board, DG5 was stopped.
