helps ship owners to evade their home nation's "inconvenient" rules/regulations, and often for reasons that are not so good. | Flag of convenience |
are organizations that will register foreign-owned ships. | Open Registries |
- require that a cruise ship be owned and constructed by national interests and to be fully or partially crewed by its citizens. This usually increases the ship's construction and operating costs. | Closed (national) Registries |
successive forms is generally regarded as the most important of all international treaties concerning the safety of merchant ships. | Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) |
plays a significant role in helping to make cruise ships safe and hygienic (USPHS, 2017a, 2017b). This organization promotes good practice, provides information and training, and identifies potential hazards that could lead to the emergence of risk | VSP |
has taken the lead in aiming to provide an international framework to ensure that safety and security remain appropriately centre stage | International Maritime Organization (IMO) |
was a move to react to the heightened tensions relating to potential threats for shipping in general. | International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) |
is best known for its sanitation inspections, which result in cruise ships being graded with scores out of 100. | CDC |

this is interpreted as confining the infected person to quarters for three days after the symptoms have ended. | Isolation |
area that may be affected should be dealt with by a specially trained, equipped and prepared ‘hit squad’. | Containment |
Areas and objects that are likely to receive a significant amount of touching by hand should be targeted – for example, railings, banisters, handles, pens, pencils, tables and counters chips in the casino; the list is endless | Disinfection |

must make certain that registered ships meet all international requirements. Flag States also inspect ships on a regular basis to ensure compliance with both international and national requirements. | Countries of Registration |
- conduct inspections on behalf of Flag States, cruise ship owners, insurers and other members of the maritime community to ensure that ships are in compliance with applicable standards and managed responsibly. | Classification Societies |
Cruise lines carefully follow waste management and recycling practices to prevent waste in oceans. | Waste Management |
Crewmembers receive robust training in safety, security and first aid to prevent and respond to potential emergency situations. | Crewmember Training |
