Violation:
A Special Report was reported on 26 December 2024; however, the AGE case totals were well below 2% of passengers or crew members.
|
|
Recommendation:
Ensure the master or designated corporate representative of a vessel with an international itinerary destined for a U.S. port submits a special report at any time during a cruise, including between two U.S. ports, when the cumulative percentage of reportable cases for the entire voyage entered in the AGE surveillance log reaches 2% among passengers or 2% among crew and the vessel is within 15 days of expected arrival at a U.S. port. Ensure that a telephone notification to VSP accompanies the special 2% report. Submit a second special report when the cumulative percentage of reportable cases entered in the AGE surveillance log reaches 3% among passengers or 3% among crew and the vessel is within 15 days of expected arrival at a U.S. port. For segmented voyages where those segments are 8 days or less, submit a special AGE report to VSP when a cumulative percentage of reportable cases of either 2% or 3% is reached among passengers or crew within one segment or two consecutive segments and the vessel is within 15 days of expected arrival at a U.S. port. Include on the the AGE surveillance log all segments from the start of the voyage, unless 67% (2/3) or more of the passengers are disembarked in any one segment. For cruises lasting longer than 15 days before entering a U.S. port, include all cases for the entire voyage on the 2% or 3% Special AGE report. Notify VSP by telephone to accompany the special 2% report. Submit a second special report when the cumulative percentage of reportable cases entered in the AGE surveillance log reaches 3% among passengers or 3% among crew and the vessel is within 15 days of expected arrival at a U.S. port.

Recommendation:
Provide a rescue or shepherd?s hook and an approved flotation device at a prominent location (visible from the full perimeter of the pool) at each RWF that has a depth of 1 meter (3 feet) or greater. Mount these devices in a manner that allows for easy access during an emergency. Ensure the pole of the rescue or shepherd?s hook is long enough to reach the center of the deepest portion of the pool from the side plus 2 feet. Ensure it is a light, strong, nontelescoping material with rounded, nonsharp ends. Ensure the approved flotation device includes an attached rope that is at least 2/3 of the maximum pool width. Ensure the rescue or shepherd?s hook is long enough to touch the bottom center of the deepest portion of the RWF plus 2 feet (0.6 meters) as measured from the closest edge without an obstruction. This edge can only be used for measurement if someone could freely walk down both sides without an obstruction such as a waterfall, fountain, statue, etc. For a rectangular pool, ensure the shorter distance is measured from the long side of the rectangle as long as there are no obstructions. Measure the 2 feet (0.6 meters) distance from where the shepherd?s hook crosses the fill line of the RWF.
