The Fight Continues . . .


Since their latest success in their efforts to improve safety at sea, Kendall Carver and his colleagues at the International Cruise Victims Association (ICV) (see our last blog post - SOMETHING TO BE PROUD ABOUT ) have been keeping busy continuing their fight to eliminate crime at sea.

Their targets now are Canada and Australia where they hope to initiate the process to get similar legislation enacted.

Kendall Carver, President of The International Cruise Victims Association (ICV) spoke on a Canadian radio show, The Informed Traveller (AM770) and did an interview in Australia with ABC about why the cruise safety bill needs to be added in those countries.

Said Kendall Carver, “Clearly the need for such legislation is becoming known around the world. It only makes sense for all countries to put in place the legislation we have passed here in the US.”

Recent cases of crime at sea have brought to the attention of the public in Australia and around the world the fact that cruise crimes are an international problem and occur throughout the world.

ICV currently maintains a separate chapter in Australia, which supports both Australia and South East Asia. Mark Brimble, Vice President and Executive Committee Member of ICV, leads their efforts in these regions and will respond to any inquiries pertaining to these respective regions.
