Which VBSS boarding type is invited?
Correct Answer:
Consensual
Explanation:
In VBSS operations, boarding types describe how much consent the host vessel provides. When the vessel invites the boarding team to come aboard, that is a consensual boarding. This means explicit permission is given by the ship’s master or designated authority, allowing the team to enter and search without force or coercion. The invitation signals cooperation, lets the search be conducted in a controlled, safe manner, and respects the host’s sovereignty. That’s why this is the best answer: inviting indicates voluntary permission, which defines a consensual boarding. The other types involve no invitation or active resistance, which isn’t described by being invited.
