Question 3108 Deck General

You are correct, the answer A) the name of the owner or agent of the vessel is the correct answer. According to U.S. Coast Guard regulations, a report of casualty to a vessel must include the name of the owner or agent of the vessel. This information is required to properly identify the vessel and its responsible party. The other answer choices, B) the amount of ballast on board, C) an evaluation of who was at fault, and D) the estimated cost of damage, while potentially relevant details, are not the primary required element for a report of casualty as per Coast Guard regulations.
