🔍 Key Concepts

• Master’s obligation to assist persons in distress at sea under SOLAS and customary law • Circumstances when a vessel is released from the duty to proceed to a distress position • Difference between "cannot proceed without serious danger to own ship" vs. "assistance is already ensured by another ship"

💭 Think About

• Which option describes a situation where the legal duty to proceed is formally lifted, rather than just making it inconvenient or difficult to assist? • In which case has the Master of your ship received clear information that the vessel in distress will already be assisted by someone else? • Which choices simply describe practical challenges (fire risk, distance, other ships nearby) but do NOT automatically cancel the obligation unless a specific formal condition is met?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option involves the Master of the ship in distress taking formal action regarding which ship will assist. • Check which situation shows that another vessel has assumed responsibility for rendering assistance. • Verify that distance or time alone (such as many hours away) does NOT by itself cancel the legal duty, unless accompanied by another specific condition in the regulations.
