laws of another country, and investigations and 
prosecutions of crimes against passengers and crew 
members may involve the laws and authorities of 
multiple nations. 
(12) The Coast Guard has found it necessary to 
establish 500-yard security zones around cruise ves-
sels to limit the risk of terrorist attack. Recently pi-
racy has dramatically increased throughout the 
world. 
(13) To enhance the safety of cruise pas-
sengers, the owners of cruise vessels could upgrade, 
modernize, and retrofit the safety and security infra-
structure on such vessels by installing peep holes in 
passenger room doors, installing security video cam-
eras in targeted areas, limiting access to passenger 
rooms to select staff during specific times, and in-
stalling acoustic hailing and warning devices capable 
of communicating over distances.

(7) Except for United States flagged vessels, or 
foreign flagged vessels operating in an area subject 
to the direct jurisdiction of the United States, there 
are no Federal statutes or regulations that explicitly 
require cruise lines to report alleged crimes to 
United States Government officials. 
(8) It is not known precisely how often crimes 
occur on cruise vessels or exactly how many people 
have disappeared during ocean voyages because 
cruise line companies do not make comprehensive, 
crime-related data readily available to the public. 
(9) Obtaining reliable crime-related cruise data 
from governmental sources can be difficult, because 
multiple countries may be involved when a crime oc-
curs on the high seas, including the flag country for 
the vessel, the country of citizenship of particular 
passengers, and any countries having special or mar-
itime jurisdiction. 
(10) It can be difficult for professional crime 
investigators to immediately secure an alleged crime 
scene on a cruise vessel, recover evidence of an on-
board offense, and identify or interview potential 
witnesses to the alleged crime. 
(11) Most cruise vessels that operate into and 
out of United States ports are registered under the
