SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

The Congress makes the following findings:
(1) There are approximately 200 overnight ocean-going
cruise vessels worldwide. The average ocean-going cruise vessel
carries 2,000 passengers with a crew of 950 people.
(2) In 2007 alone, approximately 12,000,000 passengers
were projected to take a cruise worldwide.
(3) Passengers on cruise vessels have an inadequate appreciation of their potential vulnerability to crime while on ocean
voyages, and those who may be victimized lack the information
they need to understand their legal rights or to know whom
to contact for help in the immediate aftermath of the crime.
(4) Sexual violence, the disappearance of passengers from
vessels on the high seas, and other serious crimes have occurred
during luxury cruises.
(5) Over the last 5 years, sexual assault and physical
assaults on cruise vessels were the leading crimes investigated
by the Federal Bureau of Investigation with regard to cruise
vessel incidents.
(6) These crimes at sea can involve attacks both by passengers and crewmembers on other passengers and crewmembers.
(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 occurs on the high seas,
including the flag country for the vessel, the country of citizenship of particular passengers, and any countries having special
or maritime 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 onboard 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 laws of another country,
and investigations and prosecutions of crimes against passengers and crewmembers may involve the laws and authorities
of multiple nations.
(12) The Department of Homeland Security has found it
necessary to establish 500-yard security zones around cruise
vessels to limit the risk of terrorist attack. Recently piracy
has dramatically increased throughout the world.
(13) To enhance the safety of cruise passengers, the owners
of cruise vessels could upgrade, modernize, and retrofit the
safety and security infrastructure on such vessels by installing
peep holes in passenger room doors, installing security video
cameras in targeted areas, limiting access to passenger rooms
to select staff during specific times, and installing acoustic
hailing and warning devices capable of communicating over
distances.
