Cuban Coast Guard responsible for SAR operation

After a passenger went overboard the 'Wonder of the Seas' off the coast of Cuba on Aug 29 at around 7:30-8 p.m., the cruise line had been working with the US Coast Guard. However, the Cuban Border Guard is responsible for coordinating the search and rescue mission because the incident happened in Cuban territorial seas. The US agency is not currently involved in the case. The ship was two days into its seven-day itinerary after it left Port Canaveral, Florida, and had already diverted from its original itinerary to account for Hurricane Idalia, which is pummeling Florida with record-breaking storm surge this week. The ship's crew spent approximately three hours searching for the passenger before the vessel moved on.
