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

Correct Answer: Option A — Statement that the Master has taken custody of the deceased's MMD and passport

When a seaman dies, the Master must record the death, wages due, and an inventory of property in the Official Logbook. While the Master takes custody of the deceased's effects, the specific requirement to log the custody of the MMD and passport is not a statutory entry requirement for the log.
