Who is responsible for applying ATIS changes after they are received on board?

• A. Maintenance Supervisor
• B. Ship's Officer
• C. ATIS Coordinator
• D. Technical Librarian

Answer: (D)

ATIS changes are updates to the ship’s technical information that must be reflected in the ship’s official manuals and the ATIS repository. The Technical Librarian is the custodian of the ship’s technical publications and the ATIS records. When changes arrive, this person ensures the updates are incorporated into the live documentation and electronic system—replacing superseded pages, inserting new revision sheets, updating the change log, and distributing the current manuals to the crew. The librarian coordinates with maintenance and other departments to confirm applicability, but the actual task of applying and placing the updated information in the ship’s reference materials and ATIS lies with the Technical Librarian. This role ensures consistency, proper version control, and ready access to current procedures across the crew.
