Reportable serious crimes

 Given the differences in laws of the many jurisdictions where a ship may sail, it is not practical to provide a comprehensive list of the types and legal definitions of serious crimes that require reporting. Generally, the master should report alleged or discovered serious crimes to the flag State, other interested States and parties involved, including law-enforcement authorities. These could include, but are not limited to, a suspicious death or disappearance, a criminal act leading to serious bodily injury, sexual assault, conduct endangering the safety of the vessel, or substantial loss of currency or property.
