DECK Log / MATE'S Log Book - Filling at PORT explained

Good afternoon, the next entry that I will be telling you about will be the entries at port that is The it's not a port log. It's the entries in the deck logbook at port So the first line you will always write is vessel is maintaining continuous gangway watch Remember, whatever you write in the logbook is the record Next is the mooring and gangway are tended to at regular intervals This you can change upon how much time you are going to check it Next is the frequency of the fire safety and security rounds the fire rounds if it is during the periods of darkness You will have to do it to 4 0 2 0 0 and 0 4 0 0 for a second mate Security and safety watches are always being done then the chief officers Standing or night orders night orders are something that he might be giving about ballasting or some cargo operations That has to be taken care of then the standing orders standing orders will always be pasted somewhere then the port and Company rules and regulations which are complied with port will have local regulations and company's SMS policies The next will be details of all cargo operations that had happened during the cargo watch That means even if you are at anger and you are doing port And cargo operations at anger then all the cargo operations Should apply also the same the whole thing will apply Along with the cargo entries and the anger entries Next the details of all ballasting and bunkering operations Don't have to specify how much? Ballast or bunker has been done you'll have to write on the times when it started and when it finished on when the Bunker barge had been alongside and cast off Any delays from port? This is an important thing because when you are on a charter that Delay from the port or from the ship is going to be an issue So if it is the delay from the port you should write it down on the logbook Also, any cargo damages observed because you are on a container ship the cargo damages are apparently to the ship Structure or to the container. So we normally make a damage report also before the end of the watch if there is any one-hour notice standby engine and During watch if there is a pilot boarding all those details have to be written down Again at the end of the watch you have to write the weather this is Going to be useful for you when you are loading heavy risk cargo such as Rice or something food food items So the weather will help you when you are having an issue with cargo damage Then the next thing is handing over watch to the next officer of watch All this I will show you how I have written in my logbook So this is my deck logbook During my period of watch I have written. I'm not I'll not be mentioning all this Course weather wind visibility all this here I'll be just writing down vessel alongside which side with how many ropes forward and aft at which container terminal Or at which birth only this line will suffice for all this next comes The SMS remarks it's up to it's up to the company to give you which Checklist, so I have done this and down below again. The weekly inspection was done by the third officer. He had made an entry there Next comes how I wrote my cargo watch Vessel was maintaining a continuous gangway watch moorings and gangway was tendered Constant rounds were made Then port company rules and regulations were complied with fire rounds when it was taken Master standing order were complied with then vessel was continuing cargo operations Using we are having to short country. So to short country and the times of All the cargo operations including the hatch cover opening closing under deck commencement completion on deck Commencement completion and if we're if there was any bunkering operation, I would have written it down So during this time there was no bunkering operation after this the weather experienced and At what time I handed over the watch to my third mate. So this is how I had run it. I Got a good understanding of how to write a port log. Remember if you are doing a Cargo operation at anchor the anchor Information should be there written down then comes all this So there won't be any gangway and mooring watches Whatever you need to do you you will figure it out on your own because you just have to find out what I told you in the last Entries at anchor or entries at Port I hope you got a good understanding of how to do this. Thank you
