🔍 Key Concepts

• Barratry as a maritime crime involves wrongful acts by those in charge of a vessel that injure the owner’s interests • Who counts as being "in command" or entrusted with the vessel’s management versus who is just an employee or investor • The difference between owning the ship and navigating/operating the ship

💭 Think About

• Think about which of these roles is usually the one whose interests are harmed when barratry occurs • Ask yourself: barratry typically involves a betrayal of whose trust? Which listed person is normally the victim, not the perpetrator? • Consider which positions actually navigate or manage the ship on the owner’s behalf, versus who simply has title to the vessel

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the basic definition of barratry in maritime law (who wrongs whom) • Identify which choice represents the party whose property or financial interests are usually injured by barratry • Confirm which positions (master, officers, crew) act as agents for someone else, and who that "someone else" is
