Boom and crane power weight handling equipment system hook information is recorded in the

• A. Deck Log
• B. Maintenance Records
• C. Hull History
• D. Equipment Log

Answer: (C)

The key idea is that long-term records of major equipment and modifications tied to the ship’s structure are kept in the hull history. Boom and crane weight handling gear is part of the vessel’s installed systems, and any changes to it—such as hook information, capacities, inspections, and replacements—become part of the ship’s historical record of what is on or attached to the hull. Recording this in the hull history provides a single, official reference that stays with the vessel through turnovers and inspections, ensuring traceability of the lifting gear over time and confirming its configuration for safety and compliance. Daily operations are documented in the deck log, routine maintenance in maintenance records, and a separate equipment log would track current status or usage, but the official record of installed gear and its changes is kept in hull history.
