As far as I know both the RN and USCG, having come across this vessel, reported its position and the fact that it was adrift, in international waters.
What else where they to do; more specifically what else were they obliged to do?
Board it and take it in tow?
Is it a legal requirement of a ships Captain, going about his lawful business and coming across a situation like this to resolve it?
Or report it and continue on with your passage?
