According to the "Vessel Bridge-to-Bridge Radiotelephone Act", what information that affects your vessel is required to be entered into the radiotelephone log?
• Vessel Bridge-to-Bridge Radiotelephone Act requirements for logs • Difference between routine traffic and distress / safety traffic • What kind of information "affects your vessel" under this Act
• Think about which type of radio traffic creates a legal or safety obligation for your vessel, not just casual communication. • Ask yourself: Which of these choices would be important to review later after an incident, collision, or near-miss? • Consider whether the Act is more concerned with everyday chatter or with emergency/safety-related communications.
• Verify which types of calls must be specifically logged under the Act (routine vs. distress/safety). • Check whether the requirement is about your transmissions only, all calls, or only certain high-importance calls. • Confirm that personal data like a Master’s home address is not part of standard radiotelephone log requirements.
