In the event of a vessel accident, what must be filed with the local enforcement authority?

  1. A letter of apology

  2. An accident report

  3. A wish list

  4. A complaint about the weather

The correct answer is: An accident report

In the event of a vessel accident, an accident report must be filed with the local enforcement authority. This is important as it provides critical information about the accident, such as the cause and any injuries or damages that occurred. A letter of apology (A) may be a courteous gesture, but it does not serve the same purpose as an accident report. A wish list (C) is not relevant to the situation and is not required to be filed. A complaint about the weather (D) is also not relevant and would not provide any necessary information about the accident. Therefore, the only correct and relevant choice is to file an accident report (B).
