submitted 43 years ago by Pub. L. 98-89 to r/title-46-SHIPPING · 106 words · no verdicts yet
A foreign-port survey must state whether the vessel was sent to sea improperly equipped through neglect, intent, mistake, or accident. If neglect or intent caused the problem and the consular officer agrees, the officer must discharge a requesting seaman and require specified payment.
When a survey is made at a foreign port, the surveyors must state* in the report whether, in their opinion, the vessel* had been sent to sea unsuitably provided in any important particular, by neglect or design or through mistake or accident. If by neglect or design, and the consular officer* approves the finding, the officer must discharge a seaman requesting discharge and must require the master to pay one month’s wages to that seaman in addition to wages then due, or sufficient money for the return of the seaman to the nearest and most convenient port of the United States, whichever is the greater amount.
