DISCLAIMER

The ACS, its members, and their respective officers, employees or agents, individually and

collectively, assume no responsibility and shall not be liable to any person for any loss, damage

or expense caused by reliance on the information, advice and documents included in these

Guidelines.

ACS is an association of seven Classification Societies headquartered in Asia;BKI, CCS, IRS, KR, NK, VR and SCM.

INTRODUCTION

This questionnaire was developed based on the data of detainable deficiencies from PSC

Inspections within the ACS fleet for the period 2015 - 2017. It should be read in conjunction

with ACS Guidelines No.10: Guidelines for Port State Control Detention Prevention.

This questionnaire may be used as a stand-alone tool or to complement the ISM safety

management system that has been implemented on board. Alternatively, ship owners and ship

managers may adopt the text contained herein, either in part or entirely, to enhance their

existing safety management system where it is found that gaps exist. Attention is drawn to

the nature of the deficiencies that have been listed in the questionnaire, owners/ managers

may want to emphasize to the crew on maintenance and up keeping of the associated

machinery, equipment, installations and fittings as these areas are being constantly targeted

by port state control officers. The use of ‘fleet circular ‘to share information on experienced

gained and deficiencies raised from the various PSC regimes is encouraged.

Previous Concentrated Inspection Campaign (CIC) questionnaires have also been included

in Annex I to provide owners and managers with a supplement to this questionnaire.

Annex-I

Section A-VIII/1 of STCW Code - Fitness for duty

1. Administrations shall take account of the danger posed by fatigue of seafarers, especially those whose dutiesinvolve the safe and secure operation of a ship.

2. All persons who are assigned duty as officer in charge of a watch or as a rating forming part of a watch andthose whose duties involve designated safety, prevention of pollution and security duties shall be provided witha rest period of not less than:

.1. a minimum of 10 hours of rest in any 24-hour period; and

.2. 77 hours in any 7-day period.

3. The hours of rest may be divided into no more than two periods, one of which shall be at least 6 hours inlength, and the intervals between consecutive periods of rest shall not exceed 14 hours.

4. The requirements for rest periods laid down in paragraphs 2 and 3 need not be maintained in the case of anemergency or in other overriding operational conditions. Musters, fire-fighting and lifeboat drills, and drillsprescribed by national laws and regulations and by international instruments, shall be conducted in a mannerthat minimizes the disturbance of rest periods and does not induce fatigue.

5. Administrations shall require that watch schedules be posted where they are easily accessible. The schedulesshall be established in a standardized format in the working language or languages of the ship and in English.

6. When a seafarer is on call, such as when a machinery space is unattended, the seafarer shall have anadequate compensatory rest period if the normal period of rest is disturbed by call-outs to work.

7. Administrations shall require that records of daily hours of rest of seafarers be maintained in a standardizedformat, in the working language or languages of the ship and in English, to allow monitoring and verification ofcompliance with the provisions of this section. The seafarers shall receive a copy of the records pertaining tothem, which shall be endorsed by the master or by a person authorized by the master and by the seafarers.

8. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to impair the right of the master of a ship to require a seafarer toperform any hours of work necessary for the immediate safety of the ship, persons on board or cargo, or for thepurpose of giving assistance to other ships or persons in distress at sea. Accordingly, the master may suspendthe schedule of hours of rest and require a seafarer to perform any hours of work necessary until the normalsituation has been restored. As soon as practicable after the normal situation has been restored, the mastershall ensure that any seafarers who have performed work in a scheduled rest period are provided with anadequate period of rest.

9. Parties may allow exceptions from the required hours of rest in paragraphs 2.2 and 3 above provided thatthe rest period is not less than 70 hours in any 7-day period.

Exceptions from the weekly rest period provided for in paragraph 2.2 shall not be allowed for more than twoconsecutive weeks. The intervals between two periods of exceptions on board shall not be less than twice theduration of the exception.

The hours of rest provided for in paragraph 2.1 may be divided into no more than three periods, one of whichshall be at least 6 hours in length and neither of the other two periods shall be less than one hour in length. Theintervals between consecutive periods of rest shall not exceed 14 hours. Exceptions shall not extend beyondtwo 24-hour periods in any 7-day period.

Exceptions shall, as far as possible, take into account the guidance regarding prevention of fatigue in section B-VIII/1.
