70% to pass

The York-Antwerp Rules relate to the _______________.

A ship owner's responsibilities to provide a well-found vessel in a charter party
B settlement of general average claims
C navigation regulations that apply in the English Channel
D minimum required number of officers and crew
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) settlement of general average claims. The York-Antwerp Rules are a set of international guidelines used to determine how costs and losses are to be shared in a general average situation, where extraordinary sacrifices or expenditures are made for the common safety of the ship, cargo, and crew. They provide a standardized framework for the equitable adjustment of general average claims. This makes B the correct answer, as the York-Antwerp Rules are specifically related to the settlement of general average claims, not the other options provided. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the purpose and application of the York-Antwerp Rules. They relate to different maritime legal and regulatory topics not directly connected to general average claims.
