70% to pass

When an Official logbook is not required, an unofficial logbook is required to be kept aboard for review by a marine inspector for _______________.

A one month
B 12 months
C six months
D None of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 12 months. When an official logbook is not required, an unofficial logbook must be kept aboard for review by a marine inspector for at least 12 months. This is in accordance with the regulations set forth by the US Coast Guard, which require the retention of unofficial logbook records for a period of 12 months, even when an official logbook is not mandated. The other options are incorrect because they do not align with the Coast Guard's regulatory requirements for the retention of unofficial logbook records. Neither 1 month (option A) nor 6 months (option C) are the correct durations specified in the regulations.
