EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations revoke the Merchant Shipping (Official Log Book) Regulations 1972, as amended, and re-enact those provisions, with the following differences:

(1) entries are required to be made in respect of any drill, check and test of the ship's steering gear;

(2) entries are required to be made in respect of every notification to a proper officer that one qualified deck or marine engineer officer less than the required number is carried;

(3) the requirement on the master to read over to an officer an entry relating to an officer's incompetence or serious negligence now includes a requirement to state the reason if the entry is not read over.

The “Code of Conduct for the Merchant Navy” published by the National Maritime Board is obtainable from the office of the Board at 30-32 St. Mary Axe, London EC3A 8ET.
