Safer Seas Act - Coast Guard Policies to Address Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Prevention and Response on Vessels

Listen to the Marine Log Listen Up Podcast  

The maritime industry has acknowledged the problem, and measurements to prevent any harassment and bullying are being discussed by industry bodies.

In this episode, we are going to discuss the maritime industry's response to sexual assault and sexual harassment onboard vessels by the Safer Seas Act, which the US Congress passed in December 2022. Sid Lewis, Partner Jones Walker LLP, and Sara Kuebel, Associate in the Jones Walker Maritime Practice Group, explained the new regulations, and I got to ask for more details. 

Here is the US Coast Guards Marine Safety Information Bulletin link for easy reference.

Here you find the Client Alert from Jones Walker LLP.

Thank you for listening! Would love to get your feedback, is this the way forward?
