Write Oil Record Book entries that are correct and true: codes A–I, worked examples, corrections, PSC checks and the latest IMO changes.
The Oil Record Book is a legal document. Port State inspectors can copy any page and have the master certify it, and that copy can be used in court. In recent US cases, false entries led to multi-million-dollar fines and prison for masters and chief engineers. This course teaches you to write entries that are correct, complete and true: when an entry is needed, codes A to I, the five parts of every entry, weekly sludge records, and a fully worked bilge discharge through the
15 ppm equipment, laid out exactly as the current IMO form and MEPC.1/Circ.736/Rev.2 require. You also learn how to correct mistakes and missed entries, which records must match the book, what inspectors cross-check, and what is new: electronic Oil Record Books (allowed since 2020; India since 2024) and the IMO draft rules on evaporating oily bilge water.
