| 摘要： | The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recognizes the need to address the threats that small vessels pose to the United States. Small vessels are categorized as any watercraft of less than 300 gross tons and used for recreational or commercial purposes, regardless of method of propulsion. Small vessels include commercial fishing vessels, recreational boats and yachts, towing vessels, uninspected passenger vessels, and any other personal or commercial vessels involved in U.S. or foreign voyages. With 95,000 miles of shoreline, 300,000 square miles of waterways, 360 ports of call, 12,000 marinas, and an estimated 17 million small vessels presently operating in U.S. waters, it is extremely difficult to distinguish friend from foe. DHS has identified four scenarios of gravest concern regarding the potential use of small vessels in terrorist-related activities: using a small vessel (1) as a waterborne improvised explosive device, (2) to smuggle weapons (including weapons of mass destruction) into the United States, (3) to smuggle terrorists into the United States, and (4) as a waterborne platform for conducting an attack. / Availability Note: Product reproduced from digital image.
