US marine casualty reporting

From 1st July 2016 the US Coast Guard has an amended CG-2692 form for marine casualty reporting. The new form has been streamlined to ease the burden of reporting.

What has changed?

The new form contains several changes, including the following:

•  New addendum forms added
• Forms can now be completed electronically and includes a digital signature feature
• Titles and labels have been amended to more closely align with the text and terms found in US statutory and regulatory language
• Superfluous data fields have been removed
