Where a passenger ship departs from a port located in a Member State in order to undertake a voyage of which the distance sailed from the point of departure to the next port of call exceeds 20 miles, the following information shall be recorded:
- the family names of the persons on board, their forenames, their gender, their nationality, their dates of birth,
- when volunteered by a passenger, information concerning special care or assistance that might be needed in an emergency,
- if the Member State so chooses, when volunteered by the passenger, a contact number in case of an emergency.

The information listed in paragraph 1 shall be collected before the passenger ship's departure and reported in the single window established pursuant to Article 5 of Directive 2010/65/EU upon the passenger ship's departure but in no case later than 15 minutes after its departure.
3
For a transitional period of 6 years from
20 December 2017
, Member States may continue to allow that information be communicated to the company's passenger registrar or to the shore-based company system that performs the same function, instead of requiring it to be reported in the single window.

Without prejudice to other legal obligations that comply with Union and national legislation on data protection, personal data collected for the purposes of this Directive shall not be processed and used for any other purpose. Such personal data shall always be handled in accordance with Union law on data protection and privacy and shall be erased automatically and without undue delay once it is no longer needed.
