DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
Coast Guard
[Docket No. USCG-2014-0146]
Revisions to Maritime Security Directive 104-6; Guidelines for
U.S. Vessels Operating in High Risk Waters
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.
ACTION: Notice of availability.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces the availability of Revision 7 to
Maritime Security (MARSEC) Directive 104-6, which provides guidelines
for U.S. vessels operating in high risk waters (HRW) where acts of
terrorism, piracy, and armed robbery against ships are prevalent, as
well as specific guidance for offshore supply vessels and liftboats
operating in the Gulf of Guinea. The directive contains security-
sensitive information and therefore cannot be made available to the
general public. U.S. vessel owners and operators who have needed to
take action under previous versions of MARSEC Directive 104-6, or whose
vessels operate in waters off the coast of Africa, should immediately
contact their local Coast Guard Captain of the Port or District
Commander for a copy of Revision 7, which contains important updates to
the locations of HRW and to the guidelines for addressing security
risks in those waters. The Coast Guard advises such owners and
operators that, under Revision 7, they may need to take specific
actions in accordance with MARSEC Directive 104-6 before their vessel
enters HRW. This notice is issued under the authority of 5 U.S.C.
552(a).
