ALTERNATIVE TO MARB

A

When no response to a MARB is evident, such as late at night or

As an alternative, the SMC may pursue by telephone or other communication means any other
SAR resource that can provide expeditious response, and ask if the resource desires to respond

Q

Guiding Principles in Non-Distress Cases

A

.When specifically requested assistance, such as a
commercial firm, marina, or friend, is not available, a request for assistance will be broadcasted. If a commercial provider is available and can be on scene within a reasonable
time (usually one hour or less) or an offer to assist is made by responder listed in the previous paragraph, no further action by the Coast Guard, beyond monitoring the incident, will be taken. Otherwise, a Coast Guard Auxiliary facility, if available, or a Coast Guard resource may be used.

Q

Non-Distress Use of Coast Guard.

A

The Coast Guard supports and encourages efforts of
private enterprise and volunteerism to assist mariners. Coast Guard resources will not unnecessarily interfere with private enterprise. Coast Guard resources normally do not provide
immediate assistance in non-distress cases if alternative assistance is available. A Coast Guard resource may assist in a non-distress situation when no higher priority missions exist
and no other capable resource is reasonably available.

Q

What are the 10 parts of the “TEN FACTOR” for deciding the if a vessel is in a DISTRESS PHASE.

A

(1) Nature of the situation;
(2) Position or lack of known location;
(3) Type, size, reported condition of vessel, food, water, emergency signaling devices, and
survival/life saving equipment onboard;
(4) Visibility, including daylight or darkness conditions;
(5) Tide and current conditions, and the ability of the vessel to anchor;
(6) Present and forecasted weather including wind and sea conditions, air and sea temperature;
(7) Special considerations such as number of personnel onboard, age, health, and special medical problems;
(8) Ability of the vessel to maintain reliable communications with a source of assistance.
(9) Degree of concern of the mariner for the safety of the occupants of the vessel
(10) The potential for the situation to deteriorate after evaluating the relevant factors.
(Chapter 4, COMDTINST M16130.2F)

30
Q

Can Coast Guard forcibly evacuate personnel from a vessel?

A

This may include forcing or compelling mariners to abandon their vessels when a life-threatening emergency exists, and there is an immediate need for assistance or aid

The decision to force or compel mariners to abandon their vessels should normally be made by the cognizant SAR Coordinator (SC). If time does not permit consultation with the SMC and cognizant SC, and if in the On Scene Coordinator’s (OSC) objective judgment a lifethreatening emergency exists affecting the subject vessel, and there is an immediate need for assistance or aid, the OSC may authorize this action. In this case, the SMC and SC shall be notified immediately.

Any salvage operations shall be performed at the discretion of the unit CO/OINC.

34
Q

CG Firefighting Policy for INDEPENDENT Firefighting
