Q

Which statement pertaining to log keeping is TRUE?

🔍 Key Concepts

• GMDSS (Global Maritime Distress and Safety System) radio log requirements under SOLAS Chapter IV • Difference between distress/urgency/safety traffic and routine traffic • Records of tests, drills, and equipment checks before and during the voyage

💭 Think About

• Which types of communications could be important later for an investigation or casualty report, and therefore must always be recorded? • Think about why administrations require documentation of equipment tests before and during a voyage. Which statement best matches that purpose? • For routine MF-HF and INMARSAT-C use, would regulators be more likely to require detailed logs of every call, or focus only on certain categories of traffic?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which communications types (Distress, Urgent, Safety) must be logged when they relate to your own ship • Confirm whether pre-voyage, pre-departure, and daily GMDSS tests are normally documented in the radio log • Ask yourself if it is realistic and required to log every routine MF-HF and INMARSAT-C call, or if the rules narrow it to specific traffic types
