Under 46 CFR §185.202, an intended grounding of a small passenger vessel triggers the immediate notice requirement to the Coast Guard only if it meets which condition?

Question

Accepted Answer

B. It triggers the requirement only if it creates a hazard to navigation, the environment, or the safety of a vessel, or meets any criterion of paragraphs (a)(3) through (a)(7) — 46 CFR §185.202(a)(1) treats an unintended grounding as automatically reportable, but §185.202(a)(2) conditions an intended grounding on whether it creates a hazard to navigation, the environment, or the safety of a vessel, or meets any of the criteria in paragraphs (a)(3) through (a)(7). The $2,500 damage threshold appears in 46 CFR §28.80, not in §185.202.
