Practice question
An operator places fishers on a commercial fishing vessel working in international waters. It argues that RA 11641’s manning category covers only cargo-ship deck officers. What is the statutory response?
- Section 3(j) expressly includes the specified commercial-vessel fishers within its seafarer definition
- The Act excludes every fisher from every definition
- Only deck officers count in every maritime role
- The fishers become land-based because they handle fish
- A travel booking alone supplies manning authority
