Which of the following should be scheduled on the SOSMIL?

The scheduling of all maintenance involving single closure isolation from the sea on the SOSMIL (Ship Operating Status Maintenance Instruction List) is crucial because such tasks directly impact the safety and integrity of the vessel. When maintenance requires isolating a section of the ship from seawater, it often involves significant risk factors and necessitates careful planning and execution to ensure that all safety measures are in place and that the vessel remains seaworthy.

Integrating these maintenance tasks into the SOSMIL allows for coordinated scheduling, ensuring that essential resources, personnel, and safety protocols are adequately aligned. This helps in preventing accidents and ensures compliance with regulatory standards. Routine cleaning tasks, annual safety drills, and general inspections, while important, typically follow different scheduling processes based on their frequency and nature, rather than being categorized under maintenance requiring isolation from seawater.
