🔍 Key Concepts

• Oil Record Book requirements for offshore supply vessels, tankers, and MODUs • Retention periods for required logs and records under 46 CFR and MARPOL Annex I • Difference between how long you keep the book on board vs. any additional shore-side retention

💭 Think About

• Compare the retention periods you remember for Oil Record Books on different types of vessels. Does a MODU follow the same MARPOL rule as tankers and other oil-carrying ships? • Think about whether logbooks are usually kept for short, medium, or longer terms, especially for pollution-related records. • Ask yourself: Is pollution documentation something the regulations want available just for the last year, or for multiple years of operation?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the minimum number of years MARPOL Annex I requires Oil Record Books to be kept on board. • Confirm that a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) follows the same Oil Record Book retention period as other ships, unless specifically exempted. • Be sure you are answering how long it must be maintained on board the vessel, not how long a company might keep records ashore.
