Question 1 of 27070

Q

Upon completion of a voyage, the official logbook shall be filed with the __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Official logbook requirements under 46 CFR for inspected vessels • Difference between operational authorities (like Captain of the Port/OCMI) and records/administrative offices • What is meant by "upon completion of a voyage" and who actually keeps permanent custody of logbooks

💭 Think About

• Think about which of the listed authorities is normally responsible for routine custody of records rather than inspections or enforcement actions. • Ask yourself: in normal practice, does a master physically deliver the logbook at the end of every voyage, or is it maintained in another way unless requested by an authority? • Consider how often ships complete voyages; would it be practical to turn in an official logbook to these offices every single time a voyage ends?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR who must maintain the official logbook and for how long. • Check whether any regulation states that the official logbook must be filed with a shoreside authority at the end of each voyage. • Confirm whether any of the listed offices routinely collect logbooks after every voyage, or only review them during inspections, investigations, or audits.
