Engine Room Log Book

Logbooks are an important part of daily routines carried out onboard ships as they help in keeping together all important records and parameters for future reference.
An engine room logbook is a track record of all ship machinery parameters, performance, maintenance, and malfunctions. The recorded values and information are used as a reference, to compare and record data to assess the ongoing performance of different engine room machinery.
The log book entries are very important during machinery breakdown and accidents are also taken as reference or evidence by the insurance company, surveyor etc. for the insurance claim if some accidents take place.
