Question 3100 Deck General

The correct answer is B) Your vessel strikes and sinks an anchored sailboat costing a total of $20,000 for salvage and repair. This is the correct answer because under Coast Guard regulations, there is no requirement to notify the local Marine Safety Office for a property damage incident under $25,000. The other scenarios would require notification to the Coast Guard - A) involves a fatality, C) involves a grounding, and D) involves a reportable injury. However, the property damage incident in B) is below the $25,000 threshold, so notification to the Coast Guard is not necessary in this case.
