Question 3159 Deck General

The correct answer is D) The record of entry in the continuous discharge book shall agree with the entry made in the Ship's Articles. This is correct because the Continuous Discharge Book is the official record of a seaman's employment and must match the entries made in the Ship's Articles. The Continuous Discharge Book is the legal document that verifies the seaman's service and qualifications, and its contents must be consistent with the ship's official employment records. The other options are incorrect because: A) A Certificate of Discharge is a separate document from the Continuous Discharge Book; B) The Continuous Discharge Book itself is the official record, not an attachment; and C) The record of discharge is made in the Continuous Discharge Book, not the Official Logbook, when the vessel is on coastwise articles.
