🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Part 4 – Marine Casualties and Investigations (especially sections on mobile offshore drilling units – MODUs) • Who has legal authority to conduct official investigations of marine casualties • The difference between local port officials and Coast Guard investigating officers

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In a serious MODU casualty, who is legally empowered to demand official records for an investigation, not just for general interest? • Consider whether the requirement is meant to be broad (anyone involved) or limited to specific authorities defined in the regulations. • Think about how the Coast Guard organizes its personnel: who actually has investigative authority, and is that the same as anyone in the Coast Guard or the local port office?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR Part 4 who the records "shall be made available" to after a casualty involving a MODU. • Check whether the regulation uses the phrase "any Coast Guard official authorized to investigate" or mentions specific titles like Captain of the Port. • Confirm whether the rule extends access to "anyone involved in the casualty", or only to designated investigating authorities.
