(a) The Master or Person in Charge of a vessel that is required by 46 U.S.C. 11301 to have an official logbook must maintain the logbook on form CG-706. The official logbook is available free to Masters of U.S.-flagged vessels from the Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection, as form CG-706B or CG-706C, depending on the number of persons employed in the crew. When the voyage is completed, the Master or Person in Charge must file the logbook with the Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection.

Such logs or records are not filed with the Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection, but must be kept available for review by a marine inspector for a period of 1 year after the date to which the records refer. Separate records of tests and inspections of firefighting equipment must be maintained with the vessel's logs for the period of validity of the vessel's certificate of inspection.
