Ethical decision making can be a challenge, especially when the interests of owners, guests, crew and the vessel do not neatly align. This briefing card gives crew and leaders a practical checklist for thinking through difficult choices, weighing who may be affected, testing fairness and legality, seeking challenge where needed, and aiming for the best outcome with the least harm. Use it to strengthen judgement and leadership on board.
If it looks unsafe, stop. Small actions can prevent great harm.
If you have concerns or want to share lessons learned you can do that confidentially through CHIRP, so others can benefit too.
