🔍 Key Concepts

• 49 CFR and 46 CFR requirements for hazardous materials incidents on vessels • Who the Captain of the Port (COTP) is and when they must be notified • Special handling and reporting obligations for Class 1 explosives compared with ordinary cargo damage

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: when dangerous goods are damaged and leaking, is this mainly a cargo-handling issue, a port-operations issue, or a marine safety/regulatory issue? • Which authority is responsible for immediate safety and regulatory control when hazardous materials are involved on a ship in a U.S. port? • Would U.S. regulations likely allow crew or stevedores to make informal repairs to leaking explosive cargo without outside notification?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what U.S. regulations require regarding immediate reporting of hazardous materials incidents involving explosives • Check whether regulations focus on notifying the stevedore, the shipowner, or a U.S. regulatory authority when dangerous goods are damaged • Confirm that any option involving on-board repairs without prior official notification/approval is consistent (or not) with hazardous materials safety rules
