In accordance with the Coast Guard Regulations (46 CFR), which of the following situations requires an official logbook entry and is considered the responsibility of the chief engineer?
• 46 CFR requirements for official logbook entries • Duties and legal responsibilities of the chief engineer vs. the master • Specific items in 46 CFR that are explicitly stated as requiring an official log entry
• For each choice, ask: does 46 CFR explicitly say this action must be entered in the official logbook, and is it specifically made the chief engineer’s duty? • Separate in your mind: routine inspection/maintenance duties vs. those that have to be documented in the log under 46 CFR. • Consider which of these tasks are often recorded in maintenance or machinery records instead of the official logbook.
• Verify in 46 CFR which actions are tied to official logbook entries by name, not just good practice. • Check whether the regulation assigns the duty directly to the chief engineer or to the master or "the person in charge." • Confirm that each option you include in your answer clearly meets both conditions: (1) official log entry required, and (2) specifically a chief engineer responsibility.
