🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Part 4 – Marine Casualties and Investigations (especially the definitions of marine casualty and reportable marine casualty) • Thresholds for property damage and what events (e.g., collision, grounding, equipment failure) must be reported on CG‑2692 • Injury criteria: when a crewmember’s injury becomes reportable versus when it is considered minor or first‑aid only

💭 Think About

• For each choice, ask: does this situation meet the 46 CFR definition of a reportable marine casualty, not just any incident? • Think about how 46 CFR treats intentional grounding done to protect the vessel or crew – is it still considered a marine casualty that must be reported? • Consider what level of injury and lost work time pushes a crewmember’s injury into the reportable category that requires form CG‑2692.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the current dollar threshold for property damage in 46 CFR Part 4 and compare it to the amount given in option A. • Check 46 CFR language on whether groundings (intentional or not) that affect the vessel’s safety or operation are reportable on CG‑2692. • Confirm in 46 CFR how many days of inability to perform routine duties or what level of treatment makes a crewmember’s injury reportable, and compare that to the situation in option C.
