We attended the vessel during her call to Surabaya Shipyard, Indonesia . Based on our observations on board M
PATRICIA, and in order to secure optimal performance of your Framo cargo pumping system, we have the following
comments:
8 - Hydraulic piping
Main high pressure pipe (HP) - Severe corrosion are observed on the hydraulic main header pipeline, and action is
needed in order to stabilize the situation. See attached photos. All systems on board a ship, as well as the hydraulic
piping systems requires maintenance. Seawater in combination with high temperature, weather conditions and/ or other
external causes might cause corrosion to the hydraulic piping. The first rule to reduce corrosion is to always make sure
that the piping is properly painted/coated, clean and protected. The most critical area, which should be paid special
attention to, is the clamp zone. In this area, there will be abrasion caused by the friction between the pipe surface and
the flexible clamp rubber element, when the pipe is axially moving due to thermal expansion. Over time, the paint in
these areas might wear out, and the bare steel underneath the rubber becomes exposed to corrosion. Paint will not
harm the flexible rubber element. Please clean the corroded area, in order to conclude on remaining pipe-thickness.
Replace pipes with reduced thickness more than 25-30% immediately. Framo can assist with both measurement and
production of new pipes.
Main low pressure pipe (LP) - Same comments as above for main HP line.
Branch lines (HP between main / consumer) - Same comments as above for main HP line.
Branch lines (LP between main / consumer) - Same comments as above for main HP line.
Bulkhead adaptors - The vessel is equipped with old-style bulkhead adaptors, but we are not able to confirm that the
internal bolts (carbon steel) are replaced with Stainless Steel bolts. There have been a few cases where internal bolts
holding the bulkhead adaptor together has given way due to corroded bolts. Unless the bolts already have been
replaced earlier, it is recommended to replace the bolts in the bulkhead adaptors to stainless steel. If the fire protection
liner inside the adaptor is damage a complete adaptor need to be replaced. Externally the adaptors are with corrosion.
See enclosed photos.
Preservation - Urgent maintenance and preservation of the hydraulic deck piping as mentioned above are needed.
Pipes with temporary repairs and reduced thickness more than 25-30% must be replaced.

Jockey pumps - Normal function. The coupling element for the jockey pump's shaft coupling is due for replacement.
(Recommended replaced every 5th year).
19 - Maintenance records
Hydraulic filter box. Last filter change - Main filter reported dirty. Refer section 11 for more information.
Hydraulic system tank air-breathing filter. Last filter change - Not able to confirm that the air-breathing
filter/element is replaced as recommended. (2-two year basis). Please replace it at the next opportunity.
Last test of the portable pump - We are not able to confirm that the portable pump and belonging equipment is tested
annually. It is recommended to run a function and drill test of the portable pump once a year (see instruction for pump).
The test is to run the pump in a drum with fresh water for a short period. Testing will be easier and more time-saving if
the drum for testing is part of the storage arrangement.
Last check of the ballast pumps’ anodes - We are not able to confirm current condition, nor purchase / supply of
same. Based on this we assume that original anodes are still installed. We kindly ask to look further into this and
confirm current condition, be aware that the zinc anodes are there for protection of the pumps / air separators against
corrosion. The dimension of the zinc anodes are calculated so they shall at least last for 5 years.

Unless the missing purging hose is located, purchase a new hose and start
purging of the cargo pumps cofferdams according to attached instruction.
8 - Hydraulic piping
Install new rubber blocks in pipe support where these are missing or damage. 4
rubber blocks is needed for each pipe support.
Remove the plug in the cofferdam venting opening for both ballast pumps. By
plugging the cofferdam chamber can cause built up of water pressure in the
chamber and in worst case make it possible for water to enter the hydraulic
system. The plugs must be removed a.s.a.p. and cofferdam kept open to
atmosphere all time. If pump is leaking, repairs to be carried out. Parts to have
available for repair of one ballast pump with leakage is listed below.

Cargo pumps with excessive cargo No purging record available and cargo pump sealing arrangement

Cargo pumps with excessive hydraulic No purging record available and cargo pump sealing arrangement
oil leakages are in unknown condition.
Cofferdams purged by Crew Purging was not done due to unable to locate purging hose.
Comments:
Vessel did not carry out purging process to all cargo pumps for a long time due to unable to locate purging hose.
General guidelines:
We recommend that a cargo pump with an excessive cargo leakage or excessive hydraulic oil leakage into the
pump’s cofferdam or cargo pump with a blocked cofferdam is to be repaired as soon as the cargo tank is accessible.
Cargo leakage:
Prior to any dismantling of the cargo pump, the cofferdam must be pressure tested to identify the location of the
leakage. A small leakage rate up to about 0.5 l/24h and higher with light cargoes) during pump operation is normal.
The acceptable leakage rate depends on the type of cargo.
For critical cargoes, when the leakage rate is more than 2 l/24h or higher, the pump must be pressure tested /
repaired at first opportunity.
Blocked cofferdam:
This is a serious situation as the cargo pump’s cofferdam cannot be monitored. The cargo pump must be repaired at
first opportunity. In general we do not recommend operating the cargo pump with a blocked cofferdam. For advice,
depending on the type of cargo etcetera, contact a Framo Service Station.

Comments:
We recommend inspecting and updating record for the condition of the ballast pump anodes yearly and if the anodes are determined worn please renew them. Keep in mind
that the dimension of the zinc anodes is calculated so they shall at least last for 5 years. This means if we are inspecting anodes prior a docking and find the anodes to be
more than 50% worn the recommendation should be replace during docking. If worn less than 40 – 45% they should last for another 5 year period.
