NOTES

LANCELOT V is under arrest in Tauranga, New Zealand.

The vessel had just completed unloading her cargo in Tauranga, but due to the lapsed surveys on the ship’s cranes, the unloading was delayed, which led to her arrest.  

The status of the cranes is as follows:

1.     No.1 Crane, failed 30.928t static load test, held 28.188t. SWL reduced from 30 t to 23 t. Leaking hydraulic oil. Wiper & Light not working.

2.     No.2 Crane, failed static load test @ 28.188t. Hoisting very slow. Wiper & Light not working.

3.     No.3 Crane, not working due to electronic card malfunction.  Wiper & Light not working.

4.     No.4 Crane, failed static load test @ 30.928t, held 28.188t. SWL reduced from 30 t to 20 t.

Jib Heel pin noisy.

5.     Provisions Crane has a malfunctioned motor.

 

Just prior to finishing the unloading of the last bulk cargo, No.4 crane was the only crane been utilised, but was subsequently shut down due to a suspected bearing noise coming from the Jib Heel pin. Loading was completed using shore-side cranes. The Cargo Gear Survey states that the No.1, 2, 3 cranes shall be repaired and confirmed by attending Surveyor before use.

Outstanding survey items may not be limited to, but do include the following:

1.     Five watertight doors not closing tightly

2.     Dewatering system valve not functioning

3.     Emergency generator defective

4.     Mushroom vents for cargo holds not operational and corroded

5.     220v insulation defective

6.     Wall vents, no packing and corroded

7.     VDR error.

 

Whilst in New Zealand the vessel had detentions imposed by Maritime New Zealand after port state control inspections, due to overdue annual certificates and just prior to arrest, KR class had issued a “Certificate of fitness for voyage” for a single voyage from New Zealand to a repair facility (Singapore).

 

The vessel is lying at the Port of Tauranga, New Zealand.  To receive an Invitation to Tender and arrange inspection please contact either:
