The watertight doors on the Oceanic Discoverer had an unexplained design or maintenance peculiarity where the door would begin to self-close even when in the local-control mode. This peculiarity was observed on one other vessel that the Commission visited.
The Commission therefore recommends that the watertight door manufacturer investigate this safety issue, provides a solution, and promulgates that solution through the International Association of Classification Societies (IACS) and any other way it can. (027/11)
This recommendation has been sent to the IACS for its information so that Class surveyors can check for this peculiarity when surveying this make of watertight door. (027/11)
