Q

In the event of a casualty to a MODU, who is responsible to make records available to the Coast Guard official authorized to investigate the casualty?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Part 4 – Marine Casualties and Investigations responsibilities • Who has legal duty to produce logs, reports, and other records after a marine casualty • Difference between an investigating authority and the party required to cooperate

💭 Think About

• Think about which option names the person or entity that actually OWNS or CONTROLS the official records of the MODU, not the person doing the investigation. • Ask yourself: in casualty investigations, whose duty under the regulations is it to preserve and make documents, logs, and reports available to the Coast Guard? • Consider which roles listed are formal legal roles defined in the regulations versus informal job titles used in the industry.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR Part 4 who is required to "make available" logbooks and other records to Coast Guard investigators. • Check which of the answer choices corresponds to the party in control of the vessel or unit’s official records, rather than a specific employee or the Coast Guard office itself. • Confirm that the choice you pick is the one that has a continuing legal responsibility, not just someone who happened to be involved in the incident.
