Article 709Appointment of Proxy by Master

第七百九条(船長による職務代行者の選任)

If the master is unable to command the ship due to a compelling reason, the master may appoint another person to perform the master's duties, unless otherwise provided for by laws and regulations. In this case, the master is responsible to the shipowner for the appointment.
