The Jones Act: Maritime Law. What is the Jones Act? The Jones Act, 46 U.S.C. 688 (1970), is an Act of Congress, which governs the liability of vessel operators and marine employers for the work-related injury or death of an employee.
In other words, the law does not apply to guests on a cruise ship who are injured (other laws and rules guide those cases). The Jones Act protects employees like the captains, mates, support service personnel, entertainers, engineers, housekeepers, cooks, and similar individuals.
