Шаблон:Infobox U.S. legislation The Drug Trafficking Vessel Interdiction Act of 2008, Шаблон:USStatute, was an act of the United States Congress outlawing operation of or travel in unregistered submersibles and semi-submersibles in international waters with the intent to evade detection.

The act was enacted to combat the use of illicit self-propelled semi-submersible and submersible vessels in international drug trafficking (see narco-submarine).[1] Notably, the act provides for extraterritorial jurisdiction.[1] The law extended earlier legislation such as the Marijuana on the High Seas Act (MHSA) and Maritime Drug Law Enforcement Act (MDLEA).[1]
