Require entry of departure draughts in log books with strict enforcement
Recommendation
There should be a requirement that the departure draughts must be entered in the deck log book as well as the Official Log book. The only practical way of enforcing such a rule would be for the Department to initiate random spot checks and for there to be heavy penalties for an infringement of the Regulations. The Court recommends that further consideration be given to this topic.
