In 1988, the National Transportation Safety Board began a study to examine passenger vessel safety in the United States. The study addresses needed safety improvements for domestic passenger vessels, foreign flag passenger vessels, and State-regulated passenger vessels that operate exclusively on State waters or do not carry passengers for hire. The study is divided into three parts. Part 1 discusses accidents, safety issues, and the current and proposed U.S. Coast Guard regulations relating to domestic passenger vessels, except those carrying six or fewer passengers. Part 2 discusses international safety guidance, the Coast Guard's Control Verification and Examination Program, and safety oversight relating to foreign flag passenger vessels. Part 3 discusses safety oversight programs of some States relating to State-regulated passenger vessels. As a result of the safety study, recommendations have been issued to the U.S. Coast Guard, the National Association of Small Passenger Vessel Owners, the Cruise Lines International Association, the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators, cruise vessel owners and operators, and Washington State and its ferry system.
