At our attendance she was completing an extensive refit. Among other work included in this refit was cropping and replacement of large areas of bottom plate, transom and topsides, replacement of engines and exhaust systems, replacement of bow ramp hydraulic rams all hoses and associated tank, removal and replacement of both fuel tanks and replacement of all ship's wiring. Configuration is that of a military type landing craft with a loading ramp opening to a well deck cargo space about taking up 2/3 the length of the vessel. Machinery space and lazarette are aft of the cargo hold. The wheelhouse is raised approx. 7' above main deck with access by stairway aft. Space below wheelhouse is enclosed for storage. This vessel is judged to be very well suited for her current work as an island supply vessel. With current refit, she now has a new lease on life. At sea trial on 22 September vessel attained 11 knots at 1,800 rpm, maneuvered through turns in both directions, stopped and reversed. Some difficulty with Jog steering system, rudder angle indicator and port tachometer were repaired on return to the yard. [3] HULL CONSTRUCTION: Bottom plate cropped and replaced to new between frame stations #27to #31 width of vessel and between #39to #41 width of vessel [6] MAIN ENGINE: Both main engines are factory rebuilds installed 2015 Insulation of dry engine exhaust pipes was under way at survey. [7] AUXILIARY MACHINERY/GENERATORS, ETC . All hydraulic lines replaced 2015 SSC/R Denotes Surveyor Comments & Recommendations/Page 8 of 11 EFTA01119958 File #: 1509-02-030MVI "LSJ" 23 September 2015 [8] BATTERIES/ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS: All electrical wiring replaced to new 2015 [11] PLUMBING & PIPING ARRANGEMENTS: All hoses replaced to new 2015 While 12/24V submersible electric bilge pumps are currently fitted, a bilge manifold is under construction to provide high volume discharge capability. RECOMMENDATIONS: [1A] DOCUMENTATION: Provide on board documents showing current registration and ownership. [2] NAVIGATION FITTINGS & EQUIPMENT: Consider repair/replacement of compass with dry bowl Service outdated EPIRB [3] HULL CONSTRUCTION: It has been our experience that a number of aluminum vessels in these islands show pitting on the interior surfaces of bottom plate and associated frames and bulkheads. This develops even on surfaces that are not submerged. Residual salt brine deposits are, we understand, a contributing factor in this type of corrosion. "LSJ" shows this type of damage in the tanks below her cargo deck. At next haul-out crop and replace 18"x18" portion of bulkhead showing an opening at bottom on centerline at frame station #7. Crop and replace lower 12" of bulkhead width of vessel at frame station #11 showing eleven small holes across width; all within 6" of bottom. Undertake a program to reduce pit corrosion on inside of bottom plate and transvers bulkheads in tanks below cargo deck. This particularly in tanks between frame stations #15 to #27 Flush SSC/R Denotes Surveyor Comments & Recommendations/Page 9 of 11 EFTA01119959 File #: 1509-02-030MVI "LSJ" 23 September 2015 areas with fresh water to clear any salt brine or deposits. Fit interior surfaces of tanks with magnesium anodes and consider applying protective coatings to interior surfaces. Monitor dented area at starboard topside at frame station #7 from chine up approx. 4'x 6'x 3" indent with consideration of repair. Secure broken hinge on storage room door and secure lazarette hatch hinges [8] BATTERIES/ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS: Provide battery terminal covers to prevent accidental shorting [15] LIFESAVING APPLIANCES: Replace outdated visual distress signals Mount life ring to be available in emergency [16] FIREFIGHTING EQUIPMENT: Have all fire extinguishers tagged with dated inspection certificates annually and mounted in appropriate locations In accepting this report, it must be understood that examination was made without testing for tightness, trying any of the vessel's machinery, opening any concealed places, taking any borings or plugs, and without diving for examination. In the opinion of the undersigned, subject vessel is considered to be a satisfactory risk for interested underwriters, pursuant to compliance with recommendations as set forth above. Present value amount shown is considered by the undersigned to be the "Sound Market Value" of vessel at time of survey, and is generally considered the value for insurance purposes, and does not necessarily reflect the true selling value of this vessel.
