USCG Exam Practice · Marine casualty reporting (CG-2692)

Following a reportable marine casualty on a small passenger vessel, the master determines that a crew member directly involved in the casualty shows signs of intoxication. Which action is required regarding the Official Logbook?

  1. ANo logbook entry is required; the information need only appear on Form CG-2692
  2. BAn entry must be made, the individual must be informed of the entry, and the entry must be witnessed by a second person✓ correct
  3. CAn entry must be made, but it need not be witnessed unless the individual refuses chemical testing
  4. DAn entry must be made within 24 hours and signed by the master alone

Why B is correct

46 CFR §185.210(c) specifies that an entry must be made in the Official Logbook (if carried) for any individual for whom evidence of intoxication is obtained, the individual must be informed of the entry, and the entry must be witnessed by a second person. No 24-hour deadline or master-only signature is stated in the regulation.
