This document revises Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) No. 10-02 by purging outdated sections and inserting changes. With these changes in place, this Circular only provides the guidance for performing Vessel Security Assessments. As the leader in Maritime Homeland Security, the Coast Guard has taken many measures to detect, deter, disrupt, and respond to attacks against U.S. territory, population, vessels, facilities, and critical maritime infrastructure. NVIC 10-02 was published to provide port users the necessary guidance to conduct vulnerability assessments and to develop security plans. In the two years following the terrorist events of September 11, 2001, the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (MTSA) was enacted into law and associated regulations were published on October 22, 2003. |
