Question 3152Deck General70% to pass
A vessel has been surveyed in a foreign port and found unseaworthy as a result of neglect. A seaman on this vessel is entitled to discharge and _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) one month's pay or transportation to the nearest U.S. port, whichever is the greater amount.
This is based on the provisions of the U.S. Code, which states that a seaman is entitled to either one month's wages or transportation to the nearest U.S. port, whichever is the greater amount, if the vessel they are serving on is found to be unseaworthy due to neglect while in a foreign port.
The other options are incorrect because A) only provides one month's pay, C) only provides transportation to the port of engagement, and D) provides the lesser of the two options, rather than the greater as required by the regulations.
