🔍 Key Concepts

• Serious Marine Incident (SMI) definition in 46 CFR 4.03-2 • Minimum dollar damage threshold used in the regulation • Types of injuries and pollution discharges that trigger SMI reporting

💭 Think About

• Look up the full list of events that qualify as a Serious Marine Incident and see which of the choices are specifically named there. • Ask yourself whether the regulation treats property damage, crew injury, and pollution as separate SMI triggers or if only one or two of these count. • Compare the exact thresholds in the regulation (dollar amount and pollution quantity) with the numbers given in the choices.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify the exact dollar amount of property damage that defines a Serious Marine Incident in 46 CFR 4.03-2 and compare it to $100,000. • Check whether an injury that makes a crewmember unfit for duty is explicitly listed as an SMI event. • Confirm the oil spill volume in the SMI definition and see if 10,000 gallons or more is one of the listed triggers.
