2013-02-22

On February 5, Lloyd’s Register (LR) explained “Damage Control Booklet (DCB)” deficiency issue in a PSC inspection on the vessel “CSCL LIMA” by officials from China Yangshan Maritime Safety Administration, extending apologizes to China MSA on its official website.

In the article, LR alerted “ship-owners and operators should ensure that, for ships constructed on or after 1 February, 1992, a Damage Control Booklet (in addition to the Damage Control Plan) is available on board their ship(s). If the Booklet is not available, owners and operators are requested to produce one, using MSC.1/Circ.1245 as guidance”.

As mentioned, “Lloyd’s Register would like to stress that this is a SOLAS requirement and extend our apologies to the China MSA for any inconvenience caused as a result of the inference of others beyond our control.”

This was the first time that LR expressed apology to China MSA on its official website about professional deficiency.
