The Crew Rating Log is a 12-page booklet printed in both English and Dutch (English on the right-hand pages, Dutch on the left). Inside, it presents questions and tasks in four categories: Crew Safety (Veiligheid), Arts of the Sailor (Zeemanskunsten), Half Moon History (Halve Maen Geschiedrenis), and Ship Operations (Scheepshandelingen). When a crew member (be they student or senior crew) feels they can demonstrate proficiency with all the challenges listed on a page, they can approach the captain for an official review. If they pass muster, they receive an official stamp and signature and therefore qualifty for the rank assigned to that page.
