The Grenada Ports Authority describes Grenada as a “paradise for yachtsmen” because of its expansive coastline and attractive unspoiled natural surroundings. There is a Grenada Sailing Festival held each January which attracts yachters, sailors and other tourists from around the world, as well as an additional Carriacou Regatta held in August each year.

Grenada is also an extremely popular cruise destination that has been working on building its cruise industry by providing easier access for some of the largest cruise ships in the world. Traditionally, cruise lines berthed in St. George’s Harbour, but a new terminal on the western shore of the city opened in 2005 as part of an $80 million Melville Street Development Project. Because the seabed in the new port has a depth of 10.5 meters, some of the biggest ships from some of the best-known companies worldwide can now berth in Grenada.

For cruisers, yachtsmen, crew, and anyone else visiting Grenada, the attractive islands that make up this island country offer plenty of activities. Unfortunately, while visiting or while in the immediate offshore area, things can go wrong. Passengers and crew members could get hurt or even be killed as a result of a maritime accident. If this occurs and someone is harmed, an experienced maritime lawyer should be consulted as soon as possible.

What to Do After a Maritime Injury in Grenada

If you sustain a maritime injury or sexual assault aboard a cruise ship or boat visiting Grenada, or if you get hurt while on an excursion on any of Grenada’s islands, you need to know what to do next. If you are able, you should contact the Royal Grenada Police Force (RGPF) which has more than 900 staff members and responds to more than 15,000 incident reports each year. The RGPF can enforce criminal law, immigration law, and maritime law in Granada. If the police respond to the scene of an accident and write up a report about how the incident happened, this can subsequently help you as you try to make a maritime injury case in the United States against the cruise line.

You can also report a rape or any other act of violence to the doctor and security aboard the cruise ship. Filing a report provides a record of what happened and can help you get appropriate medical care and preserve evidence. Unfortunately, sometimes ship’s doctors and security aboard cruise ships aren’t sure exactly how to best help you, or aren’t willing to provide the help you need because they work for the cruise line and may be more focused on protecting and defending the cruise line (which will be worried about potential lawsuits).

Being prepared for what to do after an injury on a cruise is very difficult because of the limited help that may be available. The good news is that you can get immediate assistance from an experienced maritime injury lawyer by reaching out to Lipcon, Margulies & Winkleman, P.A. We can be contacted even while the cruise ship is still in Grenada, and you will promptly be able to speak with one of our experienced maritime injury attorneys who can offer you immediate assistance.
