🔍 Key Concepts

• Hot work procedures in cargo tanks and adjacent spaces • Difference between duties of chief engineer vs. senior deck officer/master for safety certifications and log entries • Requirements when a certified marine chemist is not available in a foreign port

💭 Think About

• Who normally has the legal authority to certify a space as safe for hot work if a marine chemist is unavailable? Is it any engineer, or a specific senior officer? • Think about which official log (engine room vs. official deck logbook) is normally used for documenting hazardous work permits and inspections. • Which option would be inconsistent with basic hot work safety principles: proceeding without inspection, or prohibiting all repairs whenever a chemist is unavailable?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which officer is normally designated as the senior officer present / master’s representative for authorizing hazardous work in port. • Check which logbook is considered the official logbook for entries related to ship’s statutory safety matters. • Confirm that proper inspection and documentation are required before starting hot work, especially in tanks that previously contained flammable products.
