Question 3105 Deck General
70% to passYou are the operator of an uninspected vessel which is involved in an accident. You are not required to assist people affected by the accident if _______________.
The correct answer is B) it would cause serious danger to your vessel. According to the regulations governing uninspected vessels, the operator is required to provide assistance to people affected by an accident, unless doing so would pose a serious danger to their own vessel. The safety of the operator's vessel and crew takes precedence over the obligation to assist, if providing assistance would jeopardize the safety of the operator's own vessel. The other answer choices are incorrect because the reason for not assisting should be based on the safety of the operator's vessel, not the condition of the other vessel or who was at fault for the accident, or whether it would delay the operator's voyage.
