What is the requirement for Coast Guard assistance for the vessel is a ground?

When a vessel is aground, the Coast Guard typically requires that the situation poses a threat to safety, navigation, or the environment before intervening. The vessel's crew should first attempt to refloat the vessel using onboard resources or request assistance from nearby vessels. If these efforts fail or if the grounding poses a risk, the Coast Guard may be called upon to provide aid. The urgency of the situation and potential hazards will dictate the level of assistance provided.
