The 411 - "Put off"

 

walk the plank - put off the ship

411Being "put off" a ship typically means being asked or forced to leave the ship or vessel. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to:

  1. Misconduct or Disruptive Behaviour: If a passenger or crew member engages in disruptive or inappropriate behaviour that violates the ship's rules or endangers others, they may be asked to leave the ship.

  2. Security Concerns: In cases of potential security threats or suspicious activities, individuals may be removed from the ship to ensure the safety of everyone on board.

  3. Non-Compliance with Regulations: Failure to comply with safety or regulatory requirements, such as not following safety drills or refusing to adhere to maritime laws, can result in being put off the ship.

  4. Medical Emergencies or Illness: If someone falls seriously ill during the voyage and requires immediate medical attention that the ship cannot provide, they may be disembarked at the nearest port for medical treatment.

  5. Non-Payment or Violation of Payment Policies: Passengers who have not paid for their voyage or have violated payment policies may be asked to leave the ship.

Being put off a ship involves disembarking at a designated port or location, often arranged by the ship's authorities, and making alternate arrangements for transportation and accommodations. It's a serious action taken for the safety, security, or proper functioning of the ship and its passengers and crew.
