🔍 Key Concepts

• Official Logbook entries required under 46 CFR (verify current subpart for logbooks) • Difference between records required for safety equipment/tests versus those kept in other logs (e.g., cargo record, bell book, GMDSS log) • What must be recorded specifically "on or before sailing" (departure-related entries)

💭 Think About

• For each choice, ask yourself: Is this something the master must certify in the Official Logbook at or near departure, or is it usually recorded in a different specialized log? • Think about which items are directly tied to seaworthiness and compliance at the time of sailing versus routine operational checks or cargo handling records. • Consider how many different logs a ship carries and which type of information typically belongs in each one (safety/condition of ship vs. day‑to‑day operations).

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which items are clearly linked to the vessel’s condition and readiness for sea at the moment of sailing. • Check whether steering gear tests have a specific recording requirement and if that requirement is tied to the Official Logbook or could be in a separate log or test record. • Check whether detailed cargo operations timings are generally part of the Official Logbook, a cargo log/port log, or the mate’s cargo records.
