🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Part 4 – Marine Casualties and Investigations (especially reportable marine casualties) • Thresholds for property damage that trigger an immediate notification to the Coast Guard • Differences between immediate notification requirements and written report (Form CG-2692) requirements

💭 Think About

• For each choice, ask: Does this situation rise to the level of a reportable marine casualty that must be reported immediately, or is it below that threshold? • Compare the property damage dollar threshold in the regulation with the amount given in choice A. • Think about which consequences (injury, seaworthiness, or death) the Coast Guard would most urgently want to know about right away.

✅ Before You Answer

• Look up the specific dollar amount of property damage in 46 CFR Part 4 that requires immediate notification. • Confirm what the regulations say about any loss of life and whether it always requires immediate reporting. • Verify what qualifies as an injury that requires medical treatment beyond first aid and how it is treated under the marine casualty reporting rules.
