Logs and Equipment
Bridge Logs and Other Navigational Data
Requests for copies of bridge logs, ship's tracks, or other information routinely logged by the vessel's watch officer should be made to the Master. If the ship's copier cannot be used, data will be copied when the vessel returns to homeport and forwarded to the Chief Scientist.
Scientific Equipment
All equipment left on board at the end of a cruise shall be properly secured prior to the departure of the scientific party. Equipment loaded for use on a cruise will likewise be secured. The Chief Mate has the responsibility for the deck and if, in his opinion, equipment is not properly secured for sea, the scientific party will be requested to add additional lashings.
