Missing persons

 In the event that a person is reported or believed to be missing, immediate actions should be taken to find the missing person. The ship should be searched and consideration given to mustering those on board as an efficient way of resolving the situation. If the missing person is not found, the relevant shipboard emergency procedures should be followed, and it should be reported to the appropriate search and rescue organizationfootnote. If, at any time, the master has any reasonable grounds to suspect that the person went missing due to a criminal act, the other relevant sections of these Guidelines should be followed.
