Safety Issue
The design of Baltimar Boreas's diesel generator fuel
system with respect to the length and arrangement of its flexible
fuel hoses was not in accordance with International Maritime
Organization guidelines. A number of the hoses were not as short as
practicable and their use was not limited to only those positions
or locations where it was necessary to accommodate relative
movement between engine components.
Safety Recommendation
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau recommends that Wartsila
NSD Australia take action to address this safety issue.
