In an Aug. 11 press release, the National Transportation Safety Board recommended that the Coast Guard establish a policy on cell phone use on its vessels. The NTSB recommendation was issued after two serious collisions involving Coast Guard and civilian vessels, one of which resulted in a fatality.
Although the NTSB is still investigating the accidents, they have nonetheless confirmed that, “cellular telephones and similar electronic devices were being used while Coast Guard crewmembers were engaged in vessel operations.” I should mention that at this point the NTSB has no information indicating that the small boat coxswains (operators) of the two Coast Guard vessels that were using their cell phones or that cell phone use (by whichever crewmembers) was a cause of either accident.
