We appreciate the support your team have provided for this work scope including some additional issues in the accommodation. They have been a pleasure to have on board working safely for us.
Our Recommendations
As the vessel would be working in a warm environment, the inherent risk is higher due to the increased chance of bacterial growth associated with the ambient temperature.
It was imperative that there was an ongoing potable water monitoring regime and corrective action plan, to ensure the pot water system is compliant and the risk is as low as reasonably practical.
Our highly specialist services include consultancy, compliance, products, training, advice and support to the Energy and Marine sectors, all of which uniquely positions OWM to conduct both the Gap analysis and undertake the remedial works
