Shipping companies and distributors need to know if they can continue to use their current books once a new edition has been published. That’s where the Formularus NES New Edition Service can help. On our website you can find the necessary information. For further information please check out our webpage www.formularus-verlag.de/new-edition-service/information-on-new-edition-service. There you will also get information on our RSS-feed, which provides a subscription to our automatically generated NES.

Quick information may be essential, if the Port State Control needs to know, if your log- or record book complies to current regulations. You can check our website (see above NES) or scan our QR-code with your cell phone. The QR-code can be found in all new editions as of 2021.

Constantly checking, if a new edition of a particular Formularus-book has been released is time consuming and a lot of work, if done frequently. Therefore, Formularus’ NES New Edition Service provides a feed-service, which keeps you up-to-date whenever a new edition has been released on our website. Details on our NES including an exemplary guidance for the Thunderbird mail client is to be found on our webpage www.formularus-verlag.de/new-edition-service/information-on-new-edition-service. The guidance may be downloaded in pdf-format. The links to be used for the RSS-Feed are to be found on our webpage www.formularus-verlag.de/new-edition-service/list-of-feed-links. You may either choose one link for our whole portfolio or links for selected items.

Vessels carrying solid bulk cargo require the Garbage Record Book Part l & ll. All other vessels need the Garbage Book Part l.

Vessels of all types need an Oil Record Book Part I, for machinery space operations. Oil tankers as defined in MARPOL Annex I additionally need the ORB Part II, for oil cargo operations. ORB I and II are identical books and simply need to be assigned as Part I or II by the users. Recordings for both operational areas in one single book is not permitted. Therefore, an oil tanker must carry two Oil Record Books. The same applies to the German/English Öltagebuch.

Due to the extreme individuality of need, the necessary information is mainly transferred via the digitalized monitoring systems of the scrubber maker’s software. The methods of recording (electronically, by means of hardcopies or by a combination of both) must be approved individually for each vessel by the flag state's administration. Accordingly, a one-size-fits-all solution is not possible.

Sorry, we do not have those books on offer. Technical Logs for Scrubbers must comply with the NOx Technical Code of MARPOL Annex VI. Such logbooks need to be taylor-made for the specific plant on board of the particular ship. Additionally, the bulk of relevant data is gained from electronic monitoring devices. Therefore, commonly manufacturers of scrubbers supply vessels with their own logs which for every vessel need an individual approval by the flag state administration. A one-size-fits-all-solution is not possible for this purpose.

Under some flags it is compulsory to keep an Official Logbook. Frequently, under those flags the form of this logbook must meet the detailed requirements of the administration. However, in many cases an Official Logbook does not meet the requirements of a Deck- or Bridge Logbook for entries of navigational data, weather etc.. So, under those flags both books are needed. For the Liberian flag the regulations on logbooks are to be found in RLM-108, section 10.296.

No, in many cases an Official Logbook does not cover the content for navigational entries. Therefore, both logbooks are needed.
