USCG Exam PracticeMarine casualty reporting (CG-2692)
Which of the following events aboard a small passenger vessel is NOT listed as a reportable marine casualty requiring immediate notice to the nearest Sector Office under 46 CFR §185.202?
- A. An unintended grounding
- B. Loss of main propulsion that reduces maneuverability
- ✓ A passenger injury treated with first aid only, with no lost duty timeCorrect
- D. Property damage in excess of $25,000
Why C is correct
46 CFR §185.202(a)(6) requires reporting of an injury only when it requires professional medical treatment beyond first aid AND renders the individual unfit for routine duties. An injury treated with first aid alone does not meet this threshold and is therefore not a reportable casualty under that section.
