🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Part 4 – Marine Casualties and Investigations • Difference between immediate notice (right after the incident) and written report within 5 days • What counts as a reportable marine casualty vs. a minor event

💭 Think About

• Think about which of these events is serious enough that the Coast Guard wants a formal written report, not just onboard documentation. • Ask yourself: Which of these would clearly affect the vessel’s safety, seaworthiness, or ability to complete the voyage? • Consider whether every injury and every dollar amount of damage qualifies, or whether the regulations set specific thresholds.

✅ Before You Answer

• Review the definition of a marine casualty and which ones must be reported under 46 CFR Part 4. • Check the property damage dollar threshold that triggers a mandatory report—compare it to the amount in the answer choices. • Verify whether all unintended groundings, even minor ones with no damage, must be reported in writing within 5 days.
