Maritime Homeland Security Regulatory Project

• Implementation program – facilitate assessments and development of plans

• Regulatory project development– Regulatory work-plan approved– Regulations will live in 33 CFR 101-107

(subpart H)– Interim final rule published July 2003

Facility Security Plan NVIC

• Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular 11- 02 provides guidance for development of uniform security programs at marine facilities. (with the exception of passenger terminals)

Vessel Security Plan NVIC

• NVIC 10-02 provides an overview of security programs for vessel.

• The NVIC includes guidelines for vessels to;– Establish protective measures,– Perform security assessments,– Use security plan format,– Develop and use declaration of security.

Port Security Plan NVIC

• NVIC 09-02 Provides an overview of security program to implemented at the Port Level.

• The NVIC includes guidelines for;– Committee structure

– Assessment process,

– Security plan format and content,

– Review and approval process,

– Exercise and training.

Maritime Security Levels

MARSEC One“New Normalcy” minimum appropriate protective security measures must be maintained at all times.

MARSEC Three“Incident Imminent” further specific protective security measures must be maintained for a period of time when a security incident is probable or imminent, although it may not be possible to identify

the specific target.

MARSEC Two“Heightened Risk”

appropriate additional protective security measures must be maintained for a period of time as a result of heightened risk of a

security incident.

What is a Port?A COTP designated area where maritime activities

occur. This includes:• Structures,• Infrastructure dedicated to;

– Commerce– Manufacturing– Recreation– Entertainment– Public service

• Residential areas,

In , on , or immediately adjacent to the navigable waters of the United States.

What is Port Infrastructure ?– Locks & Dams, bridges, aids to navigation, anchorages– Recreational waterfront facilities– Commercial waterfront facilities– Intermodal connections

• Pipelines, road & rail access

– Port Users • Commercial, recreational, defense

– Port Support Systems• Information systems• Communication systems • Management systems

– Power & water distribution systems

What is the Ship/Port Interface?

• Any place that vessels transfer – cargo– people – fuel– ship stores

When are Security Plans required to be completed?

• International requirement for having port security plan must be met by July 2004 (ISPS Code)

• Requires Port Facilities that receive ships on international voyages to conduct security assessments and develop security plans

Planning Process

• Form the Committee

• Complete Assessments

• Develop mitigation strategies

• Write the plan

• Train and exercise the plan

How is a Port Security Plan developed?

• Identify essential/critical operations of the port

• Conduct a security assessment

• Establish Port Security Committee(s)

• Develop security plan

Port Security Committee

Identify committee area of responsibility and membership

• What is the organization of the committee and what are they responsible for?

• Will it be organized based on geographic or operational requirements?

• COTP will determine who to include, and committee structure.

Port Security Plan

Tailor plan coverage

• Multiple Plans– Separate Plans for each Port Area

• Single Plan– Entire COTP zone covered with annexes for

different port areas

• Make plan a part of another plan – “One Plan”

• Language of the plan

Develop Plan

• Document port– physical characteristic– economic characteristic

• Document port security assessment results– Assumptions– Target-scenario results

For Each Security Level

• Document communication strategy

• Document security procedures

• Document actions to address inability of vessels/facilities to set level

• Document contingencies

Port Security Assessment Overview

What is the port security assessment

• Risk based decision making and determination of what is an acceptable level of risk

• Uses general scenarios – Target– Means of transfer– Used as a weapon

Who performs the assessment

• Led by the COTP

• Performed by the Port Security Committee

• Results are owned by the USCG

• Results of the assessment are SSI

Risk Based Decision Making• Security vs. Access

– Security measures may restrict use of waterways

– Security measures may restrict access to information

• Security vs. Commerce– Security measures direct and indirect costs

• Security vs. Environment– Security initiatives may take resources away from pollution prevention &

response

– Security measures may require that more land & water be available for commercial use – staging & screening areas, buffer zones, natural barriers

• Security vs. Safety– crew fatigue due to additional duties

– access controls limit resources on hand to respond to “near misses” (tugs, line handlers, etc)

The Risk Assessment Process

• Targets/Threat • Criticality• Scenarios• Consequences• Vulnerabilities• Document, mitigate, consider• Mitigation Strategies• Trade offs

Targets

• Shared infrastructure - Shared infrastructure - the portion of the MTS which is vital to function of the port, supports multiple port users, and which typically is not covered by individual facility or vessel security plans

• ““Vital” function of the port - Vital” function of the port - the one or two missions that are most important, particularly to the national interest; national security or national defense

How to develop mitigation strategies

• Brainstorm all ideas

• Determine if they are practical and feasible

• If they are feasible and practical determine resource needs (shortfalls and gaps)

Plan review and approval• All plans will be completed by the end of

December 2003.• Vessel plans Reviewed and approved by Marine

Safety Center• Facility plans reviewed and approved by local

Captain of the Port.• Port (Area) security plan approved by CG Area

Commander.• All plans will be approved by the end of July

2004.
