🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between official logs and working/rough logs on board • How engine movements and orders are recorded during maneuvering (entering/leaving port) • Which record is specifically tied to engine order telegraph / speed changes

💭 Think About

• Think about which book is used in real time while maneuvering to jot down frequent engine speed changes and orders. • Ask yourself: which of these records is more formal and legal, and which is more of an operational, moment‑to‑moment record? • Consider which department (deck vs. engine room) is directly responsible for controlling and recording engine speeds.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which log is maintained by the engine department during maneuvers. • Separate legal/official records from informal or temporary working notes. • Consider which record would show a time‑based sequence of engine orders and speeds during arrival and departure.
