🔍 Key Concepts

• Unseaworthy vessel due to neglect – what additional rights does this give a seaman beyond just discharge? • Difference between wages owed and extra compensation or transportation when the vessel is unsafe through no fault of the crew • Think about the purpose of this protection: to discourage owners from neglecting maintenance of the vessel

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: if the vessel is unseaworthy because of the owner’s neglect, should the seaman end up worse off, the same, or somewhat better protected than if nothing had happened? • Consider whether the law is more focused on guaranteeing money, transportation, or giving the seaman a choice of the more favorable of the two. • Which option would most strongly motivate an owner to keep the vessel seaworthy, and not risk having to compensate discharged crew?

✅ Before You Answer

• Compare carefully whether the options say "only", "least", or "greater" and how that affects the seaman’s benefit. • Verify which answer best aligns with the idea that the seaman should not bear the financial burden of the owner’s neglect. • Check that the choice you pick clearly provides both the right to discharge and some form of compensation or repatriation, not just one.
