~ GENERAL DESCRIPTION ~
Description of the Vessel
The Advantage Sky, is a double skin crude oil tanker built in 2009/2010 at Jiangsu Rongsheng Heavy
Industry Group Co., China. The registered owner is Advantage Sky Shipping LLC, and the operators
are Genel Denizcilik Nakliyati AS.
She is a motor ship with a single Hyundai MAN B&W 6S70MC-C7 diesel engine, giving an operating
speed of 16.1 knots, in the oaded condition, at a summer draft of 17.019 metres. The vessel has only
a single Load Line with a maximum assigned Deadweight of 156,657.80 metric tonnes.
The vessel has been afloat at Durban outer anchorage since August 2018. The last Special Survey was
completed in May 2015 and the vessel was last dry docked in May 2015 for Intermediate Survey.
The ship was built to DNV GL Class Rules. All of the vessel’s Trading Certificates are not on board as
the vessel has been detained and all are currently valid. There are apparently no Conditions of Class.
There are twelve (12) painted steel cargo tanks, two (2) slop tanks, two (2) peak tanks, six (6) sets of
double bottom and side wing ballast tanks.

Summary.
Hull
The hull is generally in good condition despite the vessel having remained at outer anchorage since
August 2018. There is a breakage in the coating in isolated placed with a build-up of marine growth,
to varying degrees and extent, extending downwards from the 9 metre draught marks. There is
moderate wash boarding forward in the area of the bulbous bow, below and abaft of both anchors.
Unsightly rust streaks extend from the scupper outlet positions and as well at isolated locations on
the hull length extending from the deck and weld lines. Both sets of Plimsoll Marks have painted and
clearly identifiable.
Decks
The main deck is in excellent condition. No buckling or cracking noted in any visible areas with minor
spot corrosion in places but more pronounced along weld lines or joins; the deck areas would be easy
to bring to cosmetically good condition. There are no signs of recent maintenance having been
undertaken.
Ballast tanks
Ballast tanks not available for inspection as vessel under ballast, inert condition.
Deck Machinery
All found operational and in apparent good condition. All foundations, drums, clutches and linkage
were found to be moderately painted and no apparent reduction in material thickness. Slight oil drips
were noted on all deck winches.
MCL - MARINE

Cargo Tanks
Cargo tanks not available for inspection as vessel under ballast, inert condition. Cargo tanks
reportedly not accessed since August 2018. Last set of dips reportedly undertaken by Chief Officer
late 2019 reflect unpumpable quantity of cargo on bulb.
Pump Room
The pump room is bright, well maintained and all equipment is easily accessible for cargo operations
and maintenance. All areas are well painted, ventilated and clean with no evidence of previous
leakages or breakdowns visible.
Superstructures
White bulkheads are mostly well painted but affected by thick spot corrosion in isolated places with
no signs of recent maintenance work. There are small areas that are affected by staining caused by
rust bleeding. All decks are mostly well painted with spot corrosion in places and there are minor
unsightly rust streaks from the base of portholes in places. In general, the superstructure is in good
condition.
Accommodation/Galley/Provision rooms
The accommodation spaces and living areas are built to full international standards. All Officer and
Rating cabins are built with integral toiler and shower room. The vessel has a crew complement of
18 persons. At this time, minimum crew are on board due to the vessel circumstances. There is a
pilot and owners’ cabin whilst there is a two (2) berth hospital. A swimming pool is fitted on the ‘A’
Deck adjacent to the engine casing structure.
MCL - MARINE

Galley and messing facilities are well found, separate and there is adequate space in the large galley
to accommodate multi-nationality arrangements. There are pantry areas for servicing officers and
crew dining saloons.
Provision rooms are located one deck below. All areas are clean and well maintained.
Bridge
Well maintained and equipped. VDR and ECDIS are fitted on board with all equipment said to be
operational.
Machinery
The engine room is moderately lit, ventilated, open and all the equipment is easily accessible for
maintenance. All areas are well painted and no oil was sighted in drip trays or bilges. The Engine
Control Room is located inside the accommodation at the “3RD” deck level. Cargo Control and Ballast
Control Room are located on the “A” Deck.
Maintenance records were not readily available but long voyage spares were sighted to be in place.
The vessel is fully automated with bridge control and the machinery spaces can operate in the UMS
mode.

~ Conclusions ~
- Vessel appears to have been well maintained whilst being operated but it is understood that
maintenance levels have not been maintained significantly in the last 5 months as crew have
limited spares / stores on board.
- The No. 1 auxiliary generator was partially stripped and subsequently not functioning at time
of survey attendance.
- As the vessel has not been trading since August 2018, the three (3) cargo pumps have not
been operated.
- No. 1 Ballast Pump does not appear to be operational.
- In terms of the IG System, the IG valve to the deck appears to be disconnected but Inert levels
in tanks are reportedly being maintained.
Considering its age and recent lack of regular maintenance, the vessel appears to be in good although
operational aspect of machinery or lack of recent cargo operations needs to be considered
accordingly.

~ Condition Report ~
Hull
The vessel was afloat at Durban outer anchorage on 04 and 06 March 2020 with the vessel idle at
the time boarding. The vessel had reportedly been afloat at the Durban outer anchorage since August
2018 and had not engaged any cargo activities since that particular date with the vessel in the Inert
Gas Condition.
The vessel is a flush decker with a bulbous bow and transom stern. Navigation bridge,
accommodation and machinery spaces are located aft. She has white accommodation, blue topsides
and re boot topping. Decks, deck machinery, manifolds and piping are sky blue in colour.
An examination of the exposed hull areas was possible via a launch under fair weather conditions.
The vessel was last dry docked in May 2015 in Valletta and in general, the hull coating is in fair
condition with marine growth noted on the hull. The marine growth build-up was variable at places
along the full length of the hull and appeared to extend downwards, to an unknown depth, extending
from the 8 metre draught mark with the marine growth more pronounced at the stern are but
particularly on the rudder.
There was a breakdown of the hull coating in places but these appeared to be related to areas
commonly in contact with fenders. There is light wash boarding forward in the area over the bulbous
bow whilst there is mechanical damage to the paint coating on top of the bulbous bow from anchor
chain working on the bow. Also, there are unsightly rust streaks / bleeding from the deck scuppers
as well at isolated along the hull length extending downwards from the main deck.
MCL - MARINE
©2018 Sedgwick Claims Management Services, Inc.
Port side anchor deployed at time of survey attendance. Anchors are mounted on large protruding
bosses so that they can be dropped more easily and remain clear of the hull. Name, Port of Registry
and Load Line markings were clearly visible and easy to read. All six (6) of the vessels’ draught marks
are faded, partially obscured by marine growth in places and difficult to read.
Forecastle Deck
The forecastle deck is flush with the main deck. A solid bulwark is fitted around the bow, from right
ahead to half way down towards both shoulders. Generally, it is in good condition and well painted
with rust streaks present on the hull side.
The forecastle deck and mooring fittings are in good condition with some spot corrosion along the
welding seams. The decks, all the fittings and bulwarks are painted ‘sky blue’. There has been no
recent touch up work and the Chief Officer confirmed that no maintenance had been undertaken in
at least five (5) months.
There are two combined anchor windlass / mooring winch units on the forecastle head and the
windlasses are mounted on either side of the centreline. There are two (2) additional hydraulic
mooring winches mounted transversely, abaft of anchor handling windlasses on the port side of the
centreline. That gives a total of 8 mooring ropes on winch drums and four warping barrels.
There is a set of chain stoppers mounted forward of the combined windlass / mooring winch units,
located either side of the centreline, abaft of the bulwark. There is a set of cradles are also mounted
just aft of the chain stoppers and each contains a chafe chain for single point mooring.
There are eight (8) Panama fairleads mounted within the solid bulwark with four (4) located either
side of the centreline on both sides strategically around the bulwark perimeter. There are two (2)
MCL - MARINE
©2018 Sedgwick Claims Management Services, Inc.
bollards, one either in board side of the combined anchor windlass / mooring winch units. Hydraulic
oil leaks noted on the couplings on all windlass / mooring winches but contained within the save-alls.
The anchor stows well with the fluke positioned within the hawse pipe. The chains and swivels, where
visible, appeared to be good order. Anchors and chains were reportedly ranged and calibrated during
the last dry-dock.
Forecastle stores are entered through the after part of the foremast house access trunk. The stores
are moderately well organised with slight dust layer covering bulkheads and associated
strengtheners. Deck plates are well painted. Foremast is well painted with some spot corrosion
along the welding seams and joins.
Main Deck
In general, the main deck and associated piping structures are moderately well painted with some
spot corrosion along the welding seams in places. There is no evidence of pitting on the deck and
piping although the steam piping system has breakdown of the coating with corrosion present.
The vessel is fitted with open 3-tier railings on either side of the main deck, walk way passage and
stern. All were in good order with no damaged sections.
Deck fittings are generally moderately well painted but all are affected to some extent by spot edge
corrosion and minor rust bleeding in places. All tank ventilators were in good order and both
manifolds appeared well maintained with the spill tanks clear, gratings in place and in good order.
Manifolds are colour coded at specific locations with an overview of the manifold layout as follows:
MCL - MARINE
©2018 Sedgwick Claims Management Services, Inc.
Line No’s 1, 2 & 3 annually pressure tested on 14 February 2018 to 14.13kg/cm² and 2.5 yearly to
21.2kg/cm².
There is a designated helicopter landing area marked on the port side forward end of the main deck,
over cargo tank No. 1 & 2. Helicopter operation gear is stowed inside the deckhouse. The landing
area is 13.5 metres and helicopter landing is permissible.
There are deck house stores mounted forward of the manifolds on either side of the vessel centreline.
The deckhouse stores are used for helicopter operation gear, various mixed daily deck & cargo
operational work necessities as well as anti-pollution / portable fire fighting equipment.
MCL - MARINE
©2018 Sedgwick Claims Management Services, Inc.
One spare anchor mounted on face of starboard side deck store. Spare anchor well painted and
secure in place.
One spare four (4) blade propeller mounted and adequately secured on starboard side of the main
deck, adjacent to helicopter landing zone. Spare propeller in good order and maintained.
The vessel is equipped with two (2) MacGregor hose handling cranes located abaft deckhouses on
either side of the vessel centreline. Both cranes had the following common details:
Type HH400-1518-4
Built 2008/10
Each crane had a SWL 15MT up to 18 metre radius with both cranes well painted. Hoisting wires
inspected, where visible, and appeared to be in good condition. Starboard side crane reportedly not
functional due to a hydraulic pipe issue with Chief Officer advising that spare part was not on board.
Port side crane operational and utilised at time of survey attendance.
There are aluminium ‘combination’ accommodation ladder systems abaft of the manifold with port
side ladder in use at time of survey attendance. Both ladder systems appeared well maintained and
in good working order.
There are two hydraulic mooring winches fitted on the port side of the centreline forward of the
Pump Room. Associated bollards, rollers and fairleads are fitted on either side and appear maintained
and in working order.
A ‘fire wire’ winch had been retrofitted to the starboard of the centreline, leading cross the deck.
Stern Deck
MCL - MARINE
©2018 Sedgwick Claims Management Services, Inc.
The stern deck is flush with the main deck. Deck plates in the mooring area and on both sides of the
accommodation are well painted and there is no sign of pitting.
There are three (3) mooring winches with two (2) drums on each, giving a total of 6 ropes on reels.
Two of the winches are leading aft and one is leading across the deck, mounted on the port side of
centreline. Each winch is fitted with a warping head.
There are two (2) bollards on either side and there are fourteen (14) Panama Fairleads affixed in
strategic position.
There is a single stern emergency towing arrangement winch between the two aft mooring winches,
affixed on the starboard side of the centreline. The emergency towing winch motor was not affixed
at time of survey attendance.
A ‘fire wire’ winch had been retrofitted to the starboard of the centreline, leading cross the deck.
The steering flat is located below the stern deck and is entered from the port side or through the back
of the engine room.
An engine room equipment hatch opening is mounted on the main deck between the
accommodation and machinery space.
Mooring Machinery and Equipment
All mooring winches are electro hydraulically operated and all displayed evidence of hydraulic oil
leaks at the couplings. Apart from slight leaks on the winches, all hydraulics were found to be in good
order. Hydraulic couplings and deck penetrations were covered in anti-corrosive tape in place.
MCL - MARINE
©2018 Sedgwick Claims Management Services, Inc.
All were reportedly operational and in apparent good order. All foundations, drums and linkages
were found well painted. There is not apparent reduction in material thickness.
Clutches linkage and brake screws were lubricated and there was no pitting sighted on the brake
drums. The brake linings appeared to be in good order.
Cargo Tanks & Pump Room
All cargo and slop tanks reportedly coated with pure epoxy (Jotacote Universal), 1 metre upwards
from the bottom and 2.5 metres downwards from the deckhead. The cargo tanks were fitted with a
solid centreline bulkhead.
The vessel was in an Inert Gas condition at the time of our survey attendances and thus, cargo tanks
were not accessible. Both Master and Chief Officer confirmed that cargo tanks had not been accessed
since August 2018 and latest dips reflected minor quantities of oil on the sounding tape bulbs (+/-
25mm).

Main Engine
The engine room is moderately lit and spacious. We noted that several associated engine room
components to be non-functioning as they were either being worked on such as No. 1 auxiliary engine
or were free standing in a serviceable condition.
The general cleanliness of the machinery spaces was noted to be good. All plates were painted and
everything had an appearance of good housekeeping.
The engine room switchboard is located in the engine room in an area that is not air-conditioned.
The main engine is a Hyundai MAN B&W 6S70MC-C marine diesel engine, developing a maximum
continuous output of 18,660 BHP at 91RPM (MCR). There are two Hyundai TPL77B12 turbo-chargers
mounted on the starboard side of the engine block.
It was established that engine is currently being operated to a maximum load of 68 rpm and as far as
could be ascertained, no major maintenance had taken place recently. There was not recent data
relating to the last sea passage report that obtain records on performance versus consumption
available on board. Based on current engine operations, it provides 4.5 knots during ballast sailing
conditions with a consumption of 46.5 mt/day. Engine is operated continuously on 180 IFO.
The engine room damper / funnel flaps were reportedly all operational but we noted the blower (fan
rooms) to be corroded to varying degrees and extent.
The two (2) air compressors were operational although it was noted the No. 1 air compressor had
low performance.

In terms of the IG System, the valve to the deck appeared to be disconnected whilst the bypass valve
to the funnel appeared in good order.
The Fresh Water Generator condition overall appears to be poor and upon discussing this matter with
the Chief Engineer we eventually established its producing capacity was low. The ejector pump for
the Fresh Water Generator appears to be non-functioning.
Oily water separator seems to be functioning normal align with emergency air compressor and
generator.
The AC units appear to be in working order apart from No. 2 AC unit fan. The Aalborg Inert Gas
System Scrupper (ASQ-150) is reportedly functioning normally. The Atlas incinerator 800SLWS.P has
a variable capacity and was reportedly in working order.
The operator displays for the VLT are dull and appear to be failing. The overhead engine room crane
(SWL 8T ~ hoisting height 18M) appeared to have oil leaks.

Note on survey attendance: Vessel’s Senior Crew & Ratings were welcoming but crew at times
appeared to be distant and non-committal or evasive to certain questions and requests. Crew also
appeared to be not be fully appraised of vessel’s capabilities, particularly deck & cargo related aspects,
due to lack of cargo operations. Crew appear to have limited stores on board for maintenance and
no deck side maintenance seems to be in place for some time. Engine room machinery being
maintained with available resources on board, where possible, but it seems that crew are working
under pressure to maintain operational equipment due to lack of available spares and provisions. We
were only permitted to take still photographs within the accommodation structure.
