Original Note:
Nothing shocking about this. The duty to provide assistance to anyone found in distress at sea is a well-established principle under international maritime law. This obligation is set out in the 1974 International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). https://www.international-maritime-rescue.org/news/sar-matters-defining-distress-continued
