What are operators required to do if they encounter a vessel in distress?

Take photos
Provide assistance if safe
Ignore and move on
Signal for help

The correct answer is: Provide assistance if safe

Typically, Operators are required by law and maritime duty to provide necessary assistance if their aid is safe, practical, and feasible. This includes providing assistance to vessels in distress. Taking photos or signals may be helpful in documenting the incident, but the primary priority should be to offer aid or call for help. Ignoring a vessel in distress can result in serious consequences and is not a responsible or ethical option in the maritime community.
