All entries in the Official Logbook must be signed by the Master and which other person?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Official Logbook requirements in 46 CFR (Shipping Regulations) • Who must attest (witness/verify) entries made by the Master • Difference between a witnessing signature and being the subject of the entry

💭 Think About

• Think about why the law would want someone else to sign the Official Logbook besides the Master. What purpose does that serve? • Consider whether the second signature is about union representation, being a witness, or simply verifying the accuracy of the entry. • Ask yourself: if the entry is about a crewmember who is being disciplined, would the law require that person to sign, or a neutral witness?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR which specific category of person is required to sign with the Master (title/role, not union status). • Check whether the regulation says the entry must be signed by the Master and a witness, and if so, who can be that witness. • Confirm that the required second signature is not limited only to the person the entry is about, but rather to a broader or different role.
