1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The undersigned, Amit Anand & Bo Hu, Superintendents from Wallem
Shipmanagement Ltd., attended vessel M.V. QI SHAN on 13rd June,
2015, to carry out a pre-purchase inspection, whilst the vessel
was anchored at SW Lamma Anchorage, Hong Kong.
The vessel (date of delivery 21st March 2011) had been drifting
between Machong and Hong Kong since 19th January 2015. Her last
discharge port was Machong. General cosmetic appearance of the
ship side was average; Superstructure along with funnel was fair.
The ship has 7 nos. of cargo holds and had carried generally
carries grain, fertilizers, coal etc. The vessel does not have
any installed Planned Maintenance System onboard. The Kamsarmax
vessel was not maintaining any proper maintenance record. This
Hong Kong registered vessel is classed with Lloyds Register
(LR). Annual surveys are valid till 20th June 2015.
The registered owner is QISHAN SHIPPING LTD and ship manager is
TIANJIN COSBULK SHIP. There were the two more following partiesUnivan(2 persons) & Ravenscroft (4 persons). Found out later on
that one of the 4 persons in their team, was reportedly an
Argentinian ship owner himself. Though UMS classed, the engine
room was kept manned.
Engine room generally in clean condition, however had some
leakages and but was well illuminated. Prominent leakage was at
main engine fuel pumps. Auxiliary engine bilges were not clean.
Engine room bottom bilges found few places with water
accumulated. As per the available in-water survey report
carried out at Hong Kong, no area of concern found. The last
lube oil analysis report was dated 03 Mar 2014) wherein M/E,
A/Es & Stern Tube were found normal). It was reported that the
owner had not asked the vessel to send any samples since then.
The vessel had not carried out any complete overhaul of main
engine units and auxiliary engines.

The vessel is extremely low on spares and stores.

11 RISKS & CONCERNS:

1. Found ship side (Topside and Boot top zones) with scratch
marks, rusted patches and paint peeled off (about 10-12%
area affected).
2. Draft markings at forward and aft found faded.
3. The vessel had been drifting between Machong-Hong Kong
since 19 Jan 2015. Her last discharge port was Machong.
4. Prominent leakage was at main engine fuel pumps.
Auxiliary engine bilges were not clean. Bottom bilges
found few places with water accumulated.
5. Rubber packing of few weather tight doors and booby
hatches needed replacement.
6. The last lube oil analysis report was dated 03 Mar 2014)
7. The vessel had not carried out any decarbonisation of
main engine units and auxiliary engines.
8. Too less spares/stores on board. The DG engines need to be
overhauled but there is not enough spares on board.
9. No stencil on bunker lines and fire lines was found for
the last pressure test done. Probably same not done for
long time.
10.

inspected from inside and general condition noted to be
fair with scratches, patches of paint peeled-of on lower
bulkhead and hopper regions (affected region 15%), except

Too high Lube oil consumption: M/E- 40 L/day, Each
A/E-50 L/day.

long time.
16.
Ballast tanks paint Coating was affected at about
3~4% area. However, noticeably defect found common in all
inspected tanks was detached sacrificial anodes at many
locations (almost 80%). This required urgent attention as
it shall surely lead to accelerated deterioration of
tanks coatings in future.
17.
As per the temperature indicating of provision
plant, we doubt the plant or cold room exist some
trouble. Since the meat room and fish room cant be to
-18.
18.
According to the memorandum of class survey status,
some items need to be noted. For example ID AF Report
No.
Imposed 20110718,Report No. TPI1200545

Inspection Conclusions:
The vessel appeared to be in reasonable condition according to the
inspection.
If owners decide to purchase this good vessel, it is advisable to
not only evaluate some risks and concerns mentioned above, but
also pay more attention to the vessel proper maintenance, since
the proper maintenance of two vessel were not carried out, as
some records cannot get and relevant PMS system was not installed
on board. The spare parts and stores show less during inspection.
The memorandum of class survey status shall be paid attention to.
The cabins of accommodation were line with European crews habits,
but Decoration and furniture appliances update include galley
equipment etc. may be necessary.
The vessel though UMS classed, E/R was kept manned. No specific
reason was given, other that they had surplus man power.
Strict supervision, enough spare parts and stores
essential to ensure the good condition of vessel.
