Question 3050 Deck General

The correct answer is A) Your vessel is at anchor and grounds at low tide with no apparent damage. This is the correct answer because under 46 CFR 4.05-1, the Coast Guard requires a notice of marine casualty for any grounding of a vessel, regardless of whether there is apparent damage or not. Grounding is considered a reportable marine casualty event that must be reported to the Coast Guard. The other answer choices do not meet the criteria for a reportable marine casualty event. B) A minor injury, C) Routine equipment repairs, and D) Incidental contact with a buoy without damage are not situations that require a notice of marine casualty to be filed with the Coast Guard.
