| CLIA update 22 Feb 18: CLIA Cruise Line Policies

WITH Joel Katz MD, CLIA Australasia – As the Cruise Industry’s global
trade association, CLIA is dedicated
to the promotion of a safe and
secure cruise ship environment,
and CLIA Members have no higher
priority than the safety of guests
and crew.
CLIA Cruise Line Members
advance policies intended to
enhance shipboard safety, security,
and environmental stewardship,
in some cases calling for best
practices in excess of existing legal
requirements.
These policies include amongst
others, operational safety, fire
protection, shipboard security,
environmental protection, onboard
health and guest care.
CLIA holds consultative status for
non-governmental organisations
at the International Maritime
Organisation (IMO) and CLIA
oceangoing Member lines are
required to comply with or exceed
all applicable IMO regulations
focused on improving the safety
of life at sea, enhancing maritime
security and preventing pollution
into the sea by ships
As an industry that is deeply
committed to the care of its guests
and crew, and the environment
in which we operate, the head of
every CLIA oceangoing Cruise Line
Member must each year specifically
verify their line’s implementation of
CLIA policies.
