A MODU must report a collision with an aid to navigation maintained by the Coast Guard to which office?

A The Marine Safety Center at Coast Guard Headquarters
B Nearest Oceanographic office
C Nearest Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection
D National Ocean Service
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Nearest Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection. According to Coast Guard regulations, a Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU) must report a collision with an aid to navigation maintained by the Coast Guard to the nearest Officer in Charge, Marine Inspection (OCMI). This requirement is specified in 33 CFR 67.01-5, which states that the owner, operator, or person in charge of a MODU must immediately report any collision with an aid to navigation to the OCMI. The other options are incorrect because: A) The Marine Safety Center is not the appropriate office to report a collision with an aid to navigation; B) Reporting to the nearest Oceanographic office is not the correct procedure; and D) The National Ocean Service is not the appropriate agency to report this type of incident to.
