Q

On a passenger vessel over 400 gross tons, in which section are the routine entries recorded in the Oil Record Book?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Oil Record Book (ORB) requirements for U.S. and international vessels over 400 gross tons • The difference between machinery space operations and cargo/ballast operations • Which parts of the ORB apply to tankers vs. non‑tankers

💭 Think About

• Think about what type of oil operations a passenger vessel routinely performs and where these occur on the ship • Ask yourself which ORB part is mainly used on oil tankers carrying cargo oil rather than just fuel and lubricating oils • Consider whether an additional ORB section would be dedicated only to emergency or accidental discharges rather than routine entries

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which vessels must carry an Oil Record Book based on gross tonnage and type of trade (international/domestic) • Confirm which ORB Part is required for all ships of 400 GT and above versus which is only required for oil tankers of 150 GT and above • Make sure you distinguish between routine machinery‑space waste oil/bilge handling and cargo oil or ballast operations when choosing the section
