Which report is primarily the responsibility of engineering during the 12 o'clock reports?

The draft reports are primarily the responsibility of the engineering department during the 12 o'clock reports because they provide critical data related to the vessel's stability and trim. Draft reports detail the ship's waterline measurements, indicating how much of the vessel is submerged and how much is above the water. Accuracy in these reports is vital for ensuring vessel safety, compliance with loading conditions, and understanding the sea conditions.

The engineering department is involved in this process as they need to monitor how different factors, including the amount of fuel or water in tanks, can affect the overall draft and stability of the ship. This report plays a significant role in the safe operation of the vessel while at port and in various maneuvers.
