Safeguard
Most U.S.-port cruise ships have international crews. When contracts end or issues arise, Universal Safeguard & Transportation escorts crew from ship to airport, complying with all U.S. Customs & Border Protection protocols. Our Safeguard Officers are carefully selected, fully trained, and accountable.
Most cruise ships operating in U.S. ports are foreign-flagged and crewed by non-U.S. nationals.
When these crew members are released—due to contract completion, illness, or termination—the cruise line must ensure their return home.
Universal Safeguard & Transportation handles this process, taking custody of the crew from ship to airport departure.
We strictly follow U.S. Customs and Border Protection requirements. All Safeguard Officers are carefully selected, fully trained, and accountable for following these protocols.
