After a seaman is discharged, at the end of the voyage, the final payment of wages due must be made, whichever is earliest, either within 24 hours after the cargo has been discharged, or _______________.

A prior to loading any out-bound cargo

B prior to the vessel's departure on the next voyage

C within 4 days after the seaman's discharge

D prior to any change of Master

AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) within 4 days after the seaman's discharge. According to U.S. maritime labor laws, when a seaman is discharged at the end of a voyage, the final payment of wages due to the seaman must be made within 4 days after the seaman's discharge, whichever is earliest. This is specified in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 46, Section 11.401. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the legal requirement. Option A is incorrect as it does not specify the 4-day window. Option B is incorrect as it refers to the next voyage, which is not relevant to the final wage payment after discharge. Option D is incorrect as it refers to a change in the ship's Master, which is also not relevant to the final wage payment.
