A seaman dies during a voyage. What is NOT required to be entered into the Official Log?

A Statement that the Master has taken custody of the deceased's MMD and passport
B Statement of the wages due
C An inventory of the money and property
D Statement as to the total deductions to be made from the wages
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Statement that the Master has taken custody of the deceased's MMD and passport. The reason this is the correct answer is that the Official Log is required to contain certain information related to the death of a seaman during a voyage, but the custody of the deceased's documents is not one of the required entries. The Official Log must include details such as the statement of wages due, an inventory of the deceased's money and property, and a statement of total deductions from the wages, but it does not need to specify that the Master has taken custody of the MMD and passport. The other answer choices (B, C, and D) are all required entries in the Official Log related to the death of a seaman, which is why they are incorrect for this particular question.
