Según establece el Texto Refundido de la Ley de Puertos del Estado y de la Marina Mercante, ¿quién debe consignar en el diario de navegación los hechos cometidos por otras personas que, a su juicio, constituyan una infracción?According to the Consolidated Text of the State Ports and Merchant Marine Act (RDL 2/2011), who must record in the Navigation Log acts committed by other persons on board that, in their judgement, constitute an offence?
Show the answer
Correct answer: d) The master (capitán).
Why it is correct
Article 300 of RDL 2/2011 (and Art. 176 of Law 14/2014) requires the master (capitán) to record in the Navigation Log any acts committed on board that, in the master's judgement, constitute an offence.
Why the others are not
- a) Witnesses give statements, but the master holds public authority to make formal entries in the Navigation Log.
- b) The OOW keeps the Bridge Logbook, whereas recording offences in the Navigation Log belongs to the master.
- c) The chief engineer keeps the Engine Room Log; disciplinary entries in the Navigation Log always belong to the master.
How to work it out in the exam
- Recording offences or crimes in the Navigation Log (Art. 300 RDL 2/2011) = the master.
