In the event of a casualty to a MODU, who is responsible to make records available to the Coast Guard official authorized to investigate the casualty?

A The owner
B Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection
C The person who caused the casualty
D The company man
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) The owner. In the event of a casualty to a MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit), the owner of the MODU is responsible for making all relevant records available to the Coast Guard official authorized to investigate the casualty. This requirement is outlined in 46 CFR 109.411, which states that the owner must provide any records or information requested by the Coast Guard during an investigation of a MODU casualty. The other options are incorrect because the Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection is a Coast Guard official, not the responsible party for providing records (option B), the person who caused the casualty may not have access to the necessary records (option C), and the "company man" is not a defined legal entity responsible for the MODU's records (option D).
