🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for official logbooks and where they are submitted • The role of the Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection (OCMI) in relation to vessel documents • Difference between a voyage-based requirement and a calendar/time-based requirement

💭 Think About

• Look at which answer choices are tied to a specific voyage event versus a date on the calendar or an inspection cycle. • Ask yourself: Does the OCMI need the official logbook after every voyage, only at year end, or at some other trigger point? • Consider when the logbook would be complete and ready to hand over, but also still timely and useful to the Coast Guard.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which 46 CFR section discusses submission or surrender of the official logbook. • Check whether the regulation mentions a time limit after arrival in port, a scheduled inspection, or a fixed annual date. • Confirm whether the trigger event is tied specifically to completion of a voyage or to arrival at a U.S. port.
