For the first time in nearly 40 years, the U.S. Coast Guard has released a revised form for reporting a marine casualty, commercial diving casualty or a casualty related to activity on the outer continental shelf. The newly renovated CG-2692 is the result of a three-year initiative by the Coast Guard. The new form replaced the previous version as of July 1, although field units will accept submissions filed on the old form through the end of the year. According to Lt. Stefanie Hodgdon, senior investigating officer at the Coast Guard's Marine Safety Office (MSO) in San Diego, the upgrades to CG-2692 are in response to advancements throughout the maritime industry. The form includes addendum CG-2692B, which is required for use in reporting a serious marine incident (SMI).
