Marine Investigation (USCG)

Marine Casualty or Incident reporting forms

Marine casuality or Incident Should be reported in the writing within 5days in the following form:

Contents

  • (CG-2692) Report of Marine Casualty, Commercial Diving Casualty, or OSC-Related Casualty
  • (CG-2692A) Barge Addendum
  • (CG-2692B) Report of Required Chemical Drug and Alcohol Testing Following a Serious Marine
  • (CG-2692C) Personnel Casualty Addendum
  • (CG-2692D) Involved Persons and Witnesses Addendum
  • In addition, USCG Marine Investigators are tasked with investigating reports of negligence, misconduct, or other violations of federal laws or regulations that occur in conjunction with the operation of commercial vessels. If a merchant mariner is found to be in violation the USCG Marine Investigator pursues enforcement action to prevent future deficiencies and non-compliance by issuing Letters of Warning and Notices of Violations, initiating Administrative Civil Penalty hearings, initiating suspension and revocation proceedings against Coast Guard issued credentials, and representing the Coast Guard at suspension and revocation hearings.

    Marine Casualty and Pollution Data for Researchers

    The Marine Casualty and Pollution Data files provide details about marine casualty and pollution incidents investigated by Coast Guard Offices throughout the United States. The database can be used to analyze marine accidents and pollution incidents by a variety of factors including vessel or facility type, injuries, fatalities, pollutant details, location, and date. The data collection period began in 1982 for marine casualties and 1973 for polluting incidents, and is ongoing. Documentation includes entity and attribute descriptions along with suggested solutions to general marine pollution, vessel casualty, and personnel injury and death questions.
