70% to passIn which casualty case is it UNNECESSARY to notify the local Coast Guard Marine Safety Office?
A
A nylon mooring line parts while the vessel is tied up and kills a harbor worker who was on the pier.
B
A seaman is injured and in the hospital for four days.
C
Your vessel strikes a pier and does $1,500 damage to the pier but no damage to the vessel.
D
Your vessel is backing from a dock and runs aground, but is pulled off by tugs in 30 minutes.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Your vessel strikes a pier and does $1,500 damage to the pier but no damage to the vessel. This is the correct answer because under Coast Guard regulations, damage to property (such as a pier) of less than $7,000 does not require notification to the local Coast Guard Marine Safety Office. The other scenarios, such as a death, injury, or grounding, would require notification regardless of the dollar amount of damage. Therefore, option C is the only one that does not necessitate notifying the Coast Guard in this case.
