🔍 Key Concepts

• American Consul’s authority when a vessel is found unfit for the intended voyage • Difference between discharge of crew and temporary continuation of service • What U.S. law requires when a vessel is unseaworthy but allowed to proceed to another port for repairs

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: If the vessel is NOT fit for the intended voyage, but the Consul still allows a short move to a repair port, is the crew considered permanently discharged from that voyage, or still attached to it? • Consider which options describe a final end to the crew’s contract versus a situation where the voyage is merely being altered or interrupted for repairs. • Think about when seamen are entitled to extra wages or passage home: is that usually when the ship is totally given up, or when it is still going to continue its overall voyage after repairs?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options clearly mean permanent discharge from the vessel and which mean continuing the voyage after an interruption. • Check which choices sound like special compensation (extra wages or first‑class passage) that normally apply when a voyage is completely broken up, not just diverted for repairs. • Make sure the option you choose matches a situation where the vessel will continue the intended voyage after deficiencies are corrected, rather than being abandoned.
