Question 1 of 27070

A seaman is entitled by law to a release from Foreign Articles when __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Foreign Articles (shipping articles) requirements under 46 U.S.C. and 46 CFR for foreign and intercoastal voyages • Situations where a seaman has a legal right to be discharged or released from articles • Conditions that affect a seaman’s contract of employment, as opposed to conditions that affect only safety or pay

💭 Think About

• Which choice describes a situation that legally breaks or alters the seaman’s contract with the vessel, rather than just creating a problem that must be handled on board? • Think about when the law says a seaman can demand to leave the ship and be properly discharged, not just complain or file a claim later. • Which of these options would make it unreasonable or impossible for the seaman to continue fulfilling their agreed service under the signed articles?

✅ Before You Answer

• Review when shipping articles terminate or when a seaman may claim discharge under 46 U.S.C./46 CFR (verify in current regulations). • Ask whether each option is mainly a disciplinary/safety issue (handled by the master) or a contract/discharge issue (right to be released from articles). • Verify which choice is specifically connected in law to a seaman’s right to be discharged and obtain discharge papers, not just to receive additional compensation or remedies.
