Vessel/Facility Security
The US Coast Guard issued a second amendment to its guidance on vessel security. There are two changes. Revised guidance is provided on shore-side oversight to be provided with regard to the Ship Security Alert System (SSAS), particularly with regard to the information to be provided to the Coast Guard by the shore-side representatives in the event that one of their vessels transmits an SSAS report. Revised guidance is also provided on vessel security audits to assist vessels in meeting maritime security requirements. A sample audit report form is provided. Even though this guidance is focused at US vessels, foreign ship owners and operators may wish to review it for possible areas in which to improve their own security.
This policy letter provides an interpretation of "port or place of destination" to eliminate a recurring problem associated with application of the Notice of Arrival regulation: Hazardous Condition and Certain Dangerous Cargoes.
On February 28, 2006 and March 1, 2006, Sector Delaware Bay will be hosting industry training for Facility Security Officers and Safety/Environmental Mangers. It will cover security, safety and environmental regulations/mandates. Our goal is to tailor the information to the specific needs of the Port so we can take a more proactive approach to enforcement. We would like to solicit feedback on what specific areas you would like us to cover. Our agenda will cover all of the regulations we enforce, but if there are any areas that you would like to have addressed more in depth, please let us know via the email address below. The more feedback we receive, the better training we can provide. We look forward to hearing from you and seeing you on industry day. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this program, please contact me at (215) 778-4076 or email at anthony.j.matulonis@uscg.mil A.J.
