Port Security Level 1 for Waterborne Mass Transit

(August 12, 2005) - We have been advised that the U. S. Coast Guard has declared "MARSEC Level 1" to be applied to all "waterborne mass transit" (meaning ferries certified to carry 150 or more passengers, as a rule) on a nationwide basis.  Here on the West Coast, confirmations of this declaration have been made for Puget Sound, San Francisco Bay, Sector Los Angeles/Long Beach, the Columbia River, and Alaska.
