Everyone in the inland waterway community knows that the Coast Guard investigates marine incidents. But fewer people know that Coast Guard investigative teams can operate overseas throughout the world-in any maritime country in which U.S. lives or interests are at stake. Coast Guard teams have participated in investigations that have been part of national and global news stories, such as the Deepwater Horizon disaster and the capsizing and sinking of the Costa Con-cordia cruise vessel in 2012. The most recent document providing guidelines for such investigations is Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular No. 05-17, issued in 2017 and titled "Reporting and Investigating Marine Casualties Where the United States is a Substantially Interested State (SIS)." It replaced an earlier guidance issued in 1998. |
