Where is the pre-close out inspection of the main reduction gear recorded?

The pre-close out inspection of the main reduction gear is recorded in the engineering log. This log serves as a comprehensive record of all significant engineering activities, maintenance actions, and inspections performed on equipment and systems within the engineering department. The engineering log is critical for tracking the performance and condition of machinery, providing a history that can be referenced for maintenance and operational decisions.

The inspection of the main reduction gear is particularly important due to its role in the propulsion system of a vessel, and documenting it in the engineering log ensures that this vital information is consolidated with other relevant engineering data. This allows for better oversight and management of the mechanical systems on board, ensuring that any issues can be addressed promptly and effectively.
