The damage to a vessel is over $25,000. Who must notify the nearest Coast Guard Marine Safety or Marine Inspection Office as soon as possible?

Correct Answer: Option D — Any one of the above

46 CFR 4.05-1 mandates that the owner, agent, master, operator, or person in charge must notify the nearest Coast Guard Marine Safety Office immediately upon the occurrence of a marine casualty resulting in property damage exceeding the established threshold. This ensures timely reporting and regulatory oversight of the incident.
