Regulated Waterfront Facilities

(337) 721-5741

The Facilities division is involved in a broad scope of projects, including, but not limited to: Working with MTSA-regulated facilities on security plan issues, including upcoming TWIC amendments providing outreach to facilities on MTSA/TWIC issues. As a subpart of the waterways division the Facilities Compliance Staff also provides outreach to our maritime stakeholders on a wide range of port security issues; interface with other government agencies on all port security and pollution prevention issues; and coordinate/facilitate important committees and working groups. These committees and working groups are made up from volunteer members from the maritime and/or regulated communities within our MSU Lake Charles Area of Responsibility (AOR). They include:

Calcasieu River Waterway Harbor Safety Committee: local, state, and Federal waterway stakeholders who ensure that all waterways users have free and unobstructed use of our Federal navigable waters
Port of Lake Charles: Local Freight Port

Additionally, upon the implementation of the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) program, the facilities division will be checking facilities to ensure that all personnel entering into secure/restricted areas are approved per their facility/vessel security plans and are properly credentialed.
