C-ATLANTIS - WORK LIST OF THINGS THAT NEED TO BE

REPAIRED
For May 20, 2015
1. DP

system, Glonass DGPS is not working. There is an antenna on the mast

that has been struck by lightning, this needs to be changed out, It is A UHF
antenna according to the antenna plan drawing. Maybe this has something to do
the signal.
2. Radar is not reporting course and speed. Up-date Radars were working after
the tech changed the relay circuit feed on the 23 of April but it has gone out
again. The radars are getting course feed from the gyro but there is no position
and speed input from the GPS. Both Radars, the Rutter radar, Aptomar, Chart
plotter and SSB is not receiving GPS input. And our SABB R4 main GPS signal
quality is poor.
3. In the DP system the wind sensor # 2 is not working. The wind sensor on the
mast is working and the wind sensor monitor in the wheelhouse is working fine,
but in the DP system it is not working. It seems that it is not getting the signal
from the sensor.
4. The current meter cable broke and needs to be repaired. This happen while
servicing the davit and cable.
We need an electrician to re-splice the cable.
5. Condenser fan motor for main A/C has developed what appears to be a bad
bearing. We have isolated the fan motor and are now running on one fan at
reduced A/C capacity. We need this motor replaced and sent in to office for
rebuild. It would be a good idea at this time to replace both motors since there
has been no maintenance that we are aware of for past three years.
6. The MAIN-A/C UNIT (cools the forward house @ galley, 01, 02 deck airhandlers) now has several problems (see ITEM 5 above), and has started
passing un-expanded refrigerant to compressor suction-side (flooding-through).
This is usually a result of a bad TXV valve, either its bulb has lost its charge or
the valve seat has become scored and does not close 100%.

Our chiller (immediately behind compressor where the refrigerant cools the
circulated chill-water) also is routinely icing-up inside the water passages,
causing complete blockage of the chill-water discharge line from the pump. This
can be prevented by repairing or replacing the TXV valve, and any future or
further recurrence can be prevented or greatly reduced by installing a small
diameter (3/8 inch or 1/4 inch) copper tubing at the chill-water pump discharge
gauge port that runs up the exhaust stack to the chill-water head-tank, and then
adding several gallons of anti-freeze or glycol to the water.
We also need the refer-techs to take a look at all alarm/shut-down functions for
super-heat, low suction pressure, high discharge pressure.
If possible, please send the two Romanians that were here on our vessel
(February 25-2015?) recently. They seem smart and capable and speak English.
They are about 40 years old (not the guy who broke his leg), but we cannot
remember their names. We would really appreciate.
7. Fan propeller on condenser fan motor @ compressor unit in upper engineroom failed (cracked). This fan is on the walk-in refer-box condenser unit in upper
engine-room. Replaced with undersized fan propeller as temporary solution.
Specific ordering info, sizing, etc., on requisition # 06052015-210853 (BOTTOM
ITEM ON PAGE). We found a very good match for this exact propeller on the
McCombs website. We would be very happy to help with any clarification,
ordering help, or additional information.
8. Galley walk-in freezer evaporator is continually icing-up and no longer
transferring heat to refrigerant through evaporator fin passages. Freezer
temperature has slowly climbed so that we had to de-ice the evaporator two times
in past ten days, with it quickly icing-up again. Need techs to examine system for
proper de-icing function.

9. Starter for davit ram system motor was not working and vendor techs came
(22-4-15) and found a faulty CURRENT OVERLOAD PROTECTOR. They jumped
this power-leg so davit would work temporarily. The techs told Thiago and Tom
they would order a new one and install it at next crew-change. We are due for our

PORT STATE INSPECTION at next crew-change (20-5-15) and will need this
part installed upon arrival in Rio
10. The 400 meter boom is not inflating all the way. In the outermost section of
the boom (first 200 meter part of the boom) one section inflates and the other one
next to it is not inflating.
Update: 2/5/15 deployed the boom again and we discovered that one of the air
hoses has a leak in the front section of the boom. At end of drill we opened all
dump valves to deflate boom in the normal manner so we could begin to reel it in.
Normally a great volume of air is discharged through these valves to deflate
boom. Now very little are exits through the dump valves, as a further indication of
problem. This will need to be examined and fixed next time in port.
