Security Guidelines for Vessels
This Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) recommends guidelines for performing security assessments, developing security plans, and implementing security measures and procedures. Commercial vessels provide a target of opportunity for those desiring to harm theinterests of the United States. Owners and operators of vessels have the primary responsibility for ensuring the physical security and safety of their vessels. Therefore, these guidelines are a means of promoting industry practices to advance our vital national security interests. The guidelines do not relieve owners and operators of their legal responsibilities but help them to meet theirresponsibilities to provide safe and secure transportation for their passengers and cargo. While the guidance contained in this document may assist the industry, public, Coast Guard and other federal and state regulators in applying statutory and regulatory requirements, the guidance is not a substitute for applicable legal requirements; nor is it a regulation itself. Thus, it is not intended to nor does itimpose legally binding regulatory requirements of general applicability on any party, including the Coast Guard, other Federal agencies, the States or the regulated community. These guidelines were developed to assist owners and operators to establish protective measures that are appropriate to their specific vessel. Understanding that vessels are unique, owners and/or operators may seek analternative to the specific protective measures recommended in Appendix A. A vessel owner and/or operator may demonstrate that an alternative to a protective measure provides an acceptable level of protection. Additionally, vessel owner and/or operator may seek to demonstrate that specific protective measures recommended in Appendix A are not appropriate for specific vessels (due to vessel design, route,operations, etc.). Appendix B provides a method for owners and/or operators to demonstrate that, because of reduced consequence and/or vulnerability, a vessel does not need to mitigate (provide protective measures) a specific activity or objective.
