Disposal of Engineering Records and Reports

MONTHLY SUMMARY.The and Steaming Hours Report is a comprehensive monthly report of engineering data from which the operating efficiency and general performance of the ships engineering plant can be calculated (see figure 2-7). Requirements for this report are contained in Fleet Commander Instructions. This report is prepared by the engineer officer and verified, as to fuel receipts, by the supply officer. Then, it is approved and forwarded by the commanding officer directly to the fleet commander. A copy is retained on board in the files of the engineering department. An additional copy of the report may be provided to the type commander.

The Monthly Summary includes the ships fuel receipts data, fuel consumption and steaming hours necessary to establish monthly financial obligations, and fuel requirements data for budget justification. It also generates management reports for fuel receipts by operational and type commanders. This report includes all fuel data as of 2400 hours of the last day of the month and must be forwarded within 5 days of completion of the reporting month. Fleet Commander Instructions contain detailed instructions for completing the forms, as well as the definitions of the terms used.

In addition to data on fuel inventory, the report contains space for fuel consumed under-way, fuel consumed not underway, and fuel consumed by boats. Space is also provided for total steaming hours broken down as underway and not underway.

Most engineer officers prefer to compile the necessary data for this summary on a daily basis rather than wait until the end of the month and make computations from the various records. The mathematical accuracy of the computations must be observed when the report is being prepared to avoid the necessity of resubmitting a corrected form later.
