Think of the ocean as the fixed reference
The person is traveling at +50+-+25+=+25+
km/hr relative to the ocean, and in
the same direction as the ship
-----------------------------
The boat is traveling at +10+ km/hr
relativ to the ocean
The person sees the boat going
+25+-+10+=+15+ km/hr in the
direction of the ship
