a transportation security incident
- located on or adjacent to waters subject to the
jurisdiction of the U.S.
- MTSA is broader than SOLAS

FAMILY OF PLANS
Regulatory Structure
National Maritime Transportation Security Plan
Port Security Plans
Facility Security Plans
Vessel Security Plans
BASIC CONCEPT
(1) Port Security Plan - broad
Vessel and Facility Plan - specific
(2) All plans constructed based on vulnerability assessments
(3) Goal is to mitigate vulnerabilites
(4) Detail specific measures to be implemented at
three MARSEC levels
(5) Issuance of security directives
(6) exercise existing COTP authority when necessary
MARSEC DEFINTIONS
MARSEC 1 - New normalcy; minimum measures that have
to be maintained at all times
MARSEC 2 - Heightened threat of a transportation security
incident; set for as long as threat lasts
MARSEC 3 - Transportation security incident probable
or imminent; envisioned to be set for shorter
period of time
New Math: 3 = 5
MARSEC
HSAS

Process: MARSEC aligned with HSAS
PORT SECURITY ASSESSMENT
First step in process
Intended to identify risk, threat and consequences
Consider the following:
- Critical assets and infrastructure
- Critical activities and operations
- Vulnerabilities
- Existing protective measures
- Response capabilities
- Training and exercises
- develop and “game” scenarios
- Impact of incident and mitigation strategy
****Requires a cooperative effort of all port stakeholders
PORT SECURITY PLAN
- Plan that addresses measures for all activities within
the port at the three MARSECs, whether or not the activity
is directly regulated (eg. Facilities, vessels, marinas,
recreational boats, etc.)
- Developed through the local port security committee
- Based on a port security assessment
- Coordinates incident response (fed, state, local)
- Facility and vessel security plans are critical elements
- Port security plan will constitute port facility security plan
for SOLAS compliance
SHIP AND FACILITY
SECURITY ASSESSMENTS
- Physical security
- Structural integrity
- personnel protection systems
- security procedures
-communications procedures
- impact of incidents/consequences
- identified weaknesses
- define threats and likelihood of
occurrence
- select and prioritize countermeasures
* Those doing assessment have
to be qualified
ELEMENTS OF VESSEL
AND
FACILITY SECURITY
PLANS
For Each MARSEC level:
Plan approval:
- Access control
- Restricted Areas
- Handling of Cargo
- Delivery of Stores/supplies
- Security monitoring
- Security duties
Ships - Administration
or RSO
- certificate issued
Port Facilities - Government
Security Officers
Must assign:
Company Security Officer
Ship Security Officer
Facility Security Officer
MTSA - “qualified individual” to implement measures
*Security officers have key responsibilities for:
- ensuring assessments are done
- ensuring development and implementation of security plan
- training of security personnel
- drills and exercises
TRAINING AND DRILLS
All personnel must be adequately trained to perform security
duties (detailed requirements for security officers)
Drills
- one every three months to test individual elements
of plan
- additionally for ships, when 25% of ships crew changes
with those who haven’t drilled in last three months
Exercises
- at least annually
- full scale or live; or tabletop; can combined with other exercises
- encourage coordination with other stakeholders
MTSA PLAN APPROVAL
Requires Secretary to approve plans of vessels and facilities
likely to be involved in a transportation security incident.
Approval for Vessels:
- flag state issuance of SOLAS certificate
- industry standard (accepted by USCG) for large segment of
domestic fleet and non-SOLAS facilities
- USCG (Marine Safety Center) for US flag vessels
required to comply with SOLAS
- Approval for Facilities:
- COTP for facilities
- District Commander for equivalencies
PORT STATE CONTROL
SOLAS Two-Stage Approach
- Traditional PSC
* Certificate Inspection
* Clear Grounds
* Compensation for undue delay
* Minor admin measures
- Expanded PSC
* Control prior to port entry
* Denial of port entry
* Expulsion from port
Preserves rights under international law
CLEAR GROUNDS
- Ship non-compliance
* boarding officer professional judgement
* deficiencies in certificate or security equipment
* ship’s personnel not familiar with security responsibilities
* subsequent, consecutive interim certificate
- Includes when ship served by non-compliant port facility
- Port state control officer has limited access to ship security plan
- Control measures must be proportionate
- MTSA reinforces control: *can’t operate after July 2004 without
approved plan
*foreign port assessment; sanctions
*civil penalties
Recordkeeping Requirements
- Information about last 10 port calls
*security measures and security levels
- Continuous Synopsis Record
- Info on who appoints crew and employment onboard
- Names of charter parties
- Any security incidents
- Training, drills and exercises
- Periodic audits and reviews
Threat Dissemination and
Sensitive Security Information
-USCG authority limited
* TSA - TSIRs
* MOA with NIPC
* use of port security committees for unclas info
- Policy for security clearances for industry POCs
- New requirements will generate SSI information
- plans and vulnerability assessments
- threat information and analysis
- Current SSI regulation is predominantly limited to aviation,
but does extend to vulnerability assessments for all modes
- MTSA insulates certain info from public disclosure
Future International Efforts
International Maritime Organization
- Long-range ship tracking
- Standards for designating Recognized Security Organizations
- Training guidance for security officers and security personnel
- Guidance on safe manning
- Standardized forms and electronic data to facilitate commerce
- Additional guidance for control and compliance measures
World Customs Organization
- Security of container supply chain
International Labour Organization
- Seafarer Identification
- Considering wider port security issues, similar to our port
security plan approach
Putting the puzzle together
-NVICs provide interim guidance until regulations and SOLAS
requirements enter into force
-NVICs were drafted based on the developing work of IMO
-Any differences between the NVICs and IMO are not significant
and are due primarily to:
* IMO work was a moving target until December 2002
* IMO requirements allow discretion in many areas and NVICs add
the detail
-NVICs provide a snapshot of our vision for the domestic
regulations
-Implementing guidance in NVICs will not guarantee approval of
your plan but should get you very close
-NVICs will not be reissued to conform with results of diplomatic
conference
-Use NVIC and adjust to the IFR when published
Important Outstanding Issues
- What vessels and facilities may be involved in transportation
security incident; and what is the boundary of a facility
- Definition of critical infrastructure and key assets
- How far do we extend AIS domestically for security
- Process for setting MARSEC
- Do we designate RSOs
- Do we develop formal training requirements/standards
- Seafarer identification
- Policy on use and dissemination of SSI
