Jones Act vessel
A craft designed or used for transporting cargo or people on navigable waters, or that was being used for navigation at the time of a worker's injury. 0 For an injured worker to qualify as a seaman, and to be entitled to recover under the Jones Act, the worker must have been assigned to a vessel. A craft qualifies as a vessel if it is designed or used primarily for transportation on navigable waters, or if it was being used for navigational purposes at the time the worker was injured. But if the injury occurred, for example, on a work platform that was securely anchored and had no independent means of navigation, the platform would not qualify as a vessel and a claim under the Jones Act would fail.
