MSD Sturgeon Bay Maritime Security
MSD Sturgeon Bay is charged with the implementation and enforcement of the
Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (MTSA). MTSA provides a
crucial framework for ensuring the safety of maritime commerce and our
domestic ports. MTSA's key requirement is to prevent a maritime
transportation security incident (TSI), which is defined as any incident
that results in a significant loss of life environmental damage,
transportation system disruption, or economic disruptions to a particular
area.
MSD Sturgeon Bay's dedicated personnel enforce the maritime security of
numerous MTSA facilities through out the AOR covering Escanaba and Menominee
MI down through Green Bay WI. MSD personnel are responsible for the
review, approval, and enforcement of Facility Security Plans for each
facility including spot checks and annual exams to ensure adequate levels of
security are maintained in accordance with MTSA.
Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC)
What is a TWIC?
TWIC is a common identification credential for all personnel requiring
unescorted access to secure areas of MTSA-regulated facilities and vessels,
and all mariners holding Coast Guard-issued credentials. TSA will
issue workers a tamper-resistant "Smart Card" containing the worker's
biometric (fingerprint template) to allow for a positive link between the
card itself and the individual.
