Log Book Ship
In seafaring, a log book is a prescribed document in which events on board like weather and navigation are recorded on a daily basis. The keeping of a logbook is regulated by law in the Ship Safety Ordinance, and it serves as official evidence in the event of accidents as well as maritime emergencies. Sea-going vessels registered in the shipping register must keep logbooks, regardless of whether they are sailing commercially or belong to the recreational shipping sector. However, the form and content of the regulations for yachts and boats under 15 m that are not subject to registration are less strict than those for large ships. You must keep a ship's logbook chronologically with certain information. This includes: Navigation entries with courses, bearings, positions, soundings and the ship’s speeds.

Engine Log Books
Engine log books are part of a daily routine onboard ships and help to keep a record of things happening inside the ship. Compared to other log books, it is important to maintain a separate one for the engine room. In it, a marine engineer watch keeper tracks all significant data concerning a ship’s machinery parameters, the performance, maintenance, and malfunctions of the engine and other machinery. These records can later be used for insurance claims or as information for authorities if accidents happen. Furthermore, they are used as a reference to compare and record data over time. Every time the shift of one watch keeper ends, and the next takes over, he or she has to sign the log book and complete it for their watch period. At the end of each day, a chief engineer must countersign the book and check all entries.
