Who is in charge of the tag out log while in port?

The person in charge of the tag out log while in port is typically the Engineering Duty Officer (EDO). The EDO is responsible for ensuring the safety and security of all engineering systems when a vessel is docked and managing operations within the engineering space. This includes overseeing the implementation and maintenance of safety procedures such as the tag out/log out process, which ensures that machinery and electrical systems are properly disabled before work begins.

The tag out log is a crucial tool in preventing accidental operation of equipment during maintenance, and the EDO’s training and position equip them to effectively manage this responsibility. This role involves coordination with other engineering personnel, monitoring ongoing maintenance tasks, and ensuring compliance with safety standards and protocols.
