FOREWORD

This pamphlet entitled "Security of Vessels and Waterfront Facilities," CG-239, relates to the safeguarding of vessels, harbors, ports, and waterfront facilities of the United States and all territory and water, continental or insular, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States exclusive of the Canal Zone. The regulations are issued pursuant to Executive Order 10173, as amended by Executive Orders 10277 and 10352, and carry out the requirements of Section 1, Title II of the Act of June 15, 1917, as amended (40 Stat. 220, 50 U.S.C. 191).

The regulations in this pamphlet are copied from Chapter I of Title 33-Navigation and Navigable Waters of the Code of Federal Regulations and include material published in Subchapter A-General, Subchapter K-Security of Vessels, and Subchapter L-Security of Waterfront Facilities, which have been published in various issues of the Federal Register prior to March 1, 1967. This pamphlet replaces the prior edition of July 1, 1964, and contains requirements currently in effect. For the convenience of all concerned, the appendix contains a current listing of the descriptions and addresses of the Captains of the Port and Coast Guard districts, as well as appropriate excerpts of law from the United States Code.

General authority over and responsibility for the administration and enforcement of the laws and regulations relating to security of vessels and waterfront facilities in the several Coast Guard districts are vested in and imposed upon the Coast Guard District Commanders in charge of such districts. The Captains of the Port have been designated for the purpose of giving immediate direction to Coast Guard enforcement activities within the general proximity of the port in which he is situated under the general supervision of a Coast Guard District Commander.

The masters, owners, operators, and agents of vessels or other waterfront facilities have the primary responsibility for the protection and security of such vessels or waterfront facilities. Masters, shipowners, operators, and agents, vessels' operating forces, and other persons affected by the requirements for security of vessels and waterfront facilities should familiarize themselves with the requirements contained in this publication. To this end, Coast Guard personnel concerned with the administration and enforcement of these laws, namely the Coast Guard District Commander and the Captain of the Port who have jurisdiction over Coast Guard enforcement activities in the general area of the port in which he is situated, will extend upon request every possible assistance.
