if the ship is 100 something miles from the port then why cant the port authorities send a couple of tugboats to rescue MV Suez?
who will pay the charges? owner has run away and port authorities are not bound to tow a ship for free.
Legly speaking. if the captain transmits an SOS then any rescuing ship can tow away the ship in distress and a
claim salvage. Even PNS Babur can do this if the ship has towing gear and required engine power. The ship can be legally auctioned to cover all costs and even to send crew back home.
