🔍 Key Concepts

• Master’s overall authority and responsibility on U.S. vessels • What U.S. law says about manning and watchkeeping (46 CFR and STCW principles) • Difference between company/owner responsibilities and on‑board command responsibilities

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: Who is physically on board and has the legal authority to assign people to specific duties and watches day‑to‑day? • Which role is given ultimate responsibility for the safe operation and navigation of the vessel under U.S. law? • Do shore‑side entities (owner, operator, charterer) directly post the watch bill, or do they set policies that someone on board must implement?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify who signs or approves the watch bill and daily work schedule on board. • Distinguish between ISM/Company policies that set minimum manning vs. the person who actually assigns watchstanders. • Confirm which role is explicitly named as having overriding authority for safety in U.S. regulations.
