Question 2828Deck General70% to pass
Which entry is NOT required in the Official Logbook?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Commencement and termination of cargo operations.
The Official Logbook requirements for U.S. Coast Guard-inspected vessels do not include a mandatory entry for the commencement and termination of cargo operations. The logbook must contain entries for closure of hatches and sideports upon sailing (A), the position of the load line and freeboard upon sailing (C), and steering gear tests (D), as these are required by Coast Guard regulations.
While recording cargo operations may be a good practice, it is not a specific requirement for the Official Logbook. The other answer choices are all required entries that must be documented in the vessel's logbook.
