    Yeah? Who enforces that? What happens if you just pretend you didn’t see the distress call? Has anyone ever had real consequences from doing this?

      I mean I doubt it. But if you’re in the ocean you probably have more of an incentive to keep that going since it could be your ass pretty easily.

      But I imagine big enough vessels are tracked by coast guards in lots of areas.
