THE Boston Marathon bombing has prompted the Captain of
the Port (COPT) of Boston to raise maritime security to MARSEC level 2 within
the Boston zone, the US Coast Guard (USCG) has announced.
"Each owner or operator of a vessel or facility is
required to have a security plan under 33 CFR Parts 104 or 105 must notify the
COTP at (617) 223-5242 within 12 hours of receipt of notification that measures
or actions described in their security plan and any other requirements that may
be imposed by the COTP that correspond with MARSEC Level 2 have been
attained," said the statement.
"Due to this heightened level of security, regulated
vessels and facilities under the authority of the COTP and all maritime
partners are asked to be aware of the higher threat conditions and to increase
protective measures. Security plans should be reviewed with employees and
additional security measures implemented, where appropriate," the
statement said.
"We ask the maritime industry, boaters, and general
public to maintain a high state of alert and vigilance and to contact the
Sector Command Centre at (617) 223-5757 or VHF channel 16 for immediate
assistance," said the US Coast Guard.
