'shipping articles' or 'a ship's articles':

* "a contract between the crew and captain of a ship"
-- The Free Dictionary
* "a type of contract by which sailors agree to the conditions, payment, etc, for the ship in which they are going to work"
-- Collins (UK) English Dictionary
* "the articles of agreement between the captain of a ship and the seamen in respect to wages, length of time for which they are shipped, and related matters"
-- Merriam-Webster (US) English Dictionary

I'm not a shipping expert, but if a ship is operating 'on Articles'/'on articles', it may mean that its crew are employed on the above basis.

Речь идет о распределении ответственности на корабле.

В Вашем случае стопроцентно речь идет не о корабле, а о судне.
Учтите это в переводе остальных сегментов текста.
