🗨️ In short: Aboard a ship, the captain is the boss! She/he initiates evacuations and is responsible for the #safety of the #crew
Therefore, even on a civilian or private vessel, a captain's request (military: order) should be obeyed -
⚠️ Note: Anyone on board can place a #distresscall; therefore, even as a passenger, one should be capable of performing initial #rescue measures
