The regulation says: "The tarring of the dust boats 15.405
during the first weeks of January, March, May, July.
September, and November, must be carried out under
their supervision". Do you think that is carried out
regularly
I am quite sure it is not carried out during those
weeks. The contractors contract says he has to do it during those weeks, and all the Inspector can do is to
wait until that week has gone by, and report the man
for not having done it, and that is the usual
experience.
That is six times a year. Should you be surprised to 15406
hear that some of them are not done more than twice a
year?
No, I should not be surprised to hear it, under certain
circumstances, when there is a shortage of dust boats.
They may not have been done six times a year,
And how often does the shortage of dust boats cour 15407
That is difficult to answer.
I dont know what you mean by shortage, Fhan does that 15408
arise, 1
In bad blows, apart from the typhoon, the man often
loses one boat or two boats, and some of his other
boats have to work double shift to make up, and in that
case there may be no opportunity for tarring.
