🔍 Key Concepts

• Marine casualty reporting requirements in 46 CFR Part 4 • Responsibility when you damage or drag an aid to navigation (buoy) • Purpose and timing of Form CG-2692 (Report of Marine Casualty)

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: When a buoy is dragged off station, does it create an immediate safety hazard for other vessels, and does that suggest you should act right away or can you wait? • Think about whether just making a phone call is usually enough for a reportable marine casualty, or whether written documentation is normally also required. • Consider what the Coast Guard needs in order to warn other mariners and to have a formal record—does that usually involve a delayed report, no report, or both immediate notice and follow-up paperwork?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether any damage to aids to navigation (like buoys) must be reported immediately to the Coast Guard. • Check the required timeframe for submitting Form CG-2692 after a reportable marine casualty (is it ‘no report’, ‘one week’, or something else?). • Confirm whether the regulations ever say that no further action is necessary after only a phone notification, especially when other mariners’ safety may be affected.
