Question 3100Deck General70% to pass
In which casualty case is it UNNECESSARY to notify the local Coast Guard Marine Safety Office?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Your vessel strikes and sinks an anchored sailboat costing a total of $20,000 for salvage and repair.
This is the correct answer because under Coast Guard regulations, there is no requirement to notify the local Marine Safety Office for a property damage incident under $25,000. The other scenarios would require notification to the Coast Guard - A) involves a fatality, C) involves a grounding, and D) involves a reportable injury. However, the property damage incident in B) is below the $25,000 threshold, so notification to the Coast Guard is not necessary in this case.
