A state licensed pilot and state licensed pilot trainee involved in a near-miss occurrence shall complete the board-required Report of Maritime Safety Occurrence form and file it with the board as soon as possible after the near-miss occurrence, but in no event more than ten days afterwards. If a pilot trainee is involved, both the pilot trainee and the supervising pilot shall file a Report of Marine Safety Occurrence. A near-miss occurrence is where a pilot and pilot trainee successfully takes action of a non-routine nature to avoid a collision with another vessel, structure or aid to navigation, to avoid a grounding of the vessel or to avoid causing damage to the environment. Information relating to near-miss occurrences provided by a pilot and pilot trainee on this form shall not be used for imposing any sanctions or penalties against the pilot or pilot trainee involved in the occurrence. A state pilot or pilot trainee may also use this form on a voluntary basis for reporting out of the ordinary occurrences or concerns for navigational safety encountered or observed during the course of piloting a vessel as well as safety issues encountered or observed on the vessel, the dock, or in the area around the vessel.
