Question 3794 Deck General

The correct answer is C) The owner. According to the regulations governing the US Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations, the owner of a mobile offshore drilling unit is responsible for reporting any casualty to the appropriate authorities. This is because the owner has the ultimate responsibility for the safe operation and maintenance of the unit, and must ensure that any incidents or accidents are properly documented and reported as required by law. The other answer choices are incorrect because the engineer, surveyor, and pilot are not directly responsible for reporting casualties - those duties fall under the purview of the owner or their designated representative.
