While operating your oceangoing vessel you must keep a record of any discharge or disposal of garbage. When should these entries be made?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Garbage Record Book requirements for oceangoing ships (46 CFR / MARPOL Annex V) • Whether entries must reflect the actual time and position of the discharge • Difference between making entries immediately vs. sometime later (end of voyage, next port, or within 24 hours)

💭 Think About

• If authorities inspect your Garbage Record Book, what do they need to see about when and where garbage was discharged? • Which option best ensures the entry is accurate and not forgotten or mixed up with other discharges? • Think about how other required log entries (like oil record entries) are typically timed—are they made long after the event or close to the event itself?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify that the correct answer will let the entry match the actual time/date and position of the discharge as closely as possible. • Check which option minimizes the chance of errors or missing entries due to delay. • Eliminate any choice that would routinely allow entries to be made much later than the actual discharge event.
