under U.S. jurisdiction, including U.S. flag vessels anywhere in the world
and foreign flag vessels within the
jurisdiction of the United States (within 12 miles, or having an
interaction with a U.S. entity, such as a platform within 200 miles, or a
collision with a U.S. ship). Includes
commercial fishing vessels.
