If two vessels collide, what must the operators do?

  1. Exchange insurance information only

  2. Leave immediately to report the incident

  3. Render assistance to save them from danger caused by the collision

  4. Wait for authorities to arrive without intervening

The correct answer is: Render assistance to save them from danger caused by the collision

In a collision between two vessels, the top priority should be the safety and well-being of everyone involved. Therefore, the correct answer is C) Render assistance to save them from danger caused by the collision. Options A and B are incorrect because they ignore the potential danger and prioritize other factors. Option D is also incorrect as it advises waiting for authorities to arrive without taking any action in potentially life-threatening situations. By rendering assistance, the operators can potentially save lives and prevent any further danger resulting from the collision.
