Marine Forms for Panamanian Flag Vessel
Marine Forms for Panamanian Flag Vessel is a group of 3 IMPA-coded items (codes 370887–370889) under Nautical Publications / Charts in the Nautical Equipment section (IMPA 37). All of them are priced per vol.
Buying guide
This group holds the national record books a Panamanian-flag ship carries: the Oil Record Book, the Official Logbook and the vessel crew log book. They must be authenticated by a Panamanian consulate before they are delivered on board, which is why they are ordered as a separate item rather than as generic log books.[1]
The master raises them when a book is nearly full or a new edition is issued; allow for the consular step in the lead time.[1]
How to specify it
Name each book, the number of volumes, the ship’s name and IMO number for the authentication, and the port where the books must arrive. Ask the supplier to confirm the books will be delivered already authenticated by the Panamanian consulate.[1]
For the Oil Record Book, ask for the current official edition. Panama combined its records into one book, the "Oil Record Book and Emissions": Part I machinery space operations (ships of 400 GT and above), Part II cargo and ballast operations (tankers of 150 GT and above, and non-tankers carrying more than 200 m³ of oil in bulk), Part III air-pollution records (ships of 400 GT and above).[2]
Rules and certificates
Panama Merchant Marine Circular MMC-215 governs the use and maintenance of the official book. It is to be kept on board and retained for three years after the last entry. The 2017 revised edition, issued after resolution MEPC.271(69) entered into force on 1 September 2017, adds Part III records for ozone-depleting substances, low-sulphur fuel oil, vapour collection, incinerators and NOx Tier III emission control areas.[2][3]
The official editions are available from the Panama Maritime Authority headquarters and all merchant marine consulates, and ships with an earlier edition on board may keep using it until those supplies are used up.[2][3]
Questions buyers ask
