Q

A seaman dies during a voyage. What is NOT required to be entered into the Official Log?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for entries in the Official Logbook when a seaman dies during a voyage • What specific information about wages and property must be documented • Whether custody of documents like MMD (Merchant Mariner's Document) and passport is explicitly listed as a required log entry

💭 Think About

• Look at the list of items that MUST be entered in the Official Log on a crewmember’s death; which of these options is not on that list? • Ask yourself: which items relate directly to money/property and wage settlement, and which item is more about an administrative action taken by the Master? • Consider whether certain required actions (like taking custody of documents) are always required, but not necessarily required to be WRITTEN in the Official Log.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR the exact wording of the required Official Log entries upon a seaman’s death • Check which options clearly deal with wages and property accounting, which are specifically regulated • Check if there is any explicit requirement that the Master’s handling of the deceased’s MMD and passport must be recorded in the Official Log, or if that duty is addressed separately from log entries
