Summary

Maritime Security Handbook provides the regulated community with guidance for understanding and complying with the extensive new security requirements issued by the U.S. Coast Guard and enacted by Congress. Vessel owners and operators will appreciate the easy-to-read interpretations and analysis of these new requirements by the legal experts of Blank Rome LLP. Analysis of each requirement includes the purpose and applicability of the rule, a dissection of the language, and recommended actions. Due to the size and complexity of the requirements, these compliance guidelines are thoroughly indexed and contain a detailed table of contents for ease of use and cross reference.
