If the executive director of the board alerts the United States Coast Guard to a violation or likely violation of safety standards pursuant to Section 1156.6 and has reason to believe that the violation or likely violation will not be corrected prior to the vessel reaching its next port of call, the executive director shall request the United States Coast Guard to report the suspected safety standard violation to the port state control officer or a pilot organization in an expected future port of call. This section does not preclude any other party from disseminating any report of the findings and recommendations of the executive director of the board pursuant to Section 1156.6, and all of those reports and findings shall be considered public records.
