In the event of a shipping disaster, it is, of course, inconceivable that the skipper of the rescue craft would ask the captain whether he was insured, and, on being told that the shipowner had not insured the vessel properly, would then refuse to help and return to base. It goes without saying that the rescue crew would have to render assistance.
En cas de catastrophe maritime, il est naturellement inconcevable que le bateau de sauvetage envoyé demander au capitaine s’il possède une assurance et s’en retourne sans prêter assistance au navire en détresse dans le cas où celui-ci ne serait pas correctement assuré.
