The Master has always been subject to the Law of the Flag State; theirs is the ultimate authority for that vessel and they are responsible to the Flag State for compliance with its maritime regulations. While the Master retains absolute discretion, they remain accountable for their command decisions. But the Master had better have good evidence that they managed the risk to the expected standard.
The seafarer has a duty to take the standard of care, reasonably expected of such a professional in his position, to guard against acts or omissions which might cause loss and give rise to a claim in negligence. But in what circumstances will the seafarer’s default amount to a crime? This introduces us to the phenomenon of accountability that takes us beyond civil liability to criminal negligence.
