Basics of Criminal Intent and How They Determine
Liability On a Maritime Job

Criminal penal codes tend to classify criminal conduct
using words such as:

- intentionally (some jurisdictions use the words
with “purpose”, “wilfull”, or "wilfully")
- knowingly
- recklessly
- with criminal negligence

Intentionally - when someone acts intentionally, they
act with purpose or intent in doing what they do. For
instance, if an officer waits until darkness to dump
contaminated lube oil overboard, that is an intentional
act

Knowingly - when someone acts with the knowledge
that their conduct will have a particular result, even if
they assert it is not their intent to do so. For instance, if
a person drops a live hand grenade at a crowded bus
stop, then insists it was never his intention to anyone
to be killed or injured, that’s a classic example of
acting knowingly in the criminal sense.

Recklessly - when someone knows about a serious
risk in doing something but ignores it anyway. For
instance, if someone does slalom turns on a jet ski
while seeing that people are swimming within fifty feet
of him, that’s reckless conduct.

Negligently - when someone doesn’t recognize the
serious risk created by their actions. For instance, if a
designated person with training and certification
attempts to fill a barge hold with home-heating oil,
although the hold is already full, and the result is an
overflow that discharges 3,000 gallons of oil onto a
river, that could be treated as criminally negligent
conduct.
