You need to know what a logbook is for a ship. A logbook is where you write down important things that happen on the ship. This part of the law used to say what you had to write in the logbook.

You don't have to follow this law now because it was repealed on 2 February 1998. It was repealed by section 187. This means you don't have to write those things in the logbook anymore.
