AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard announces

(MARSEC) Directive 104–6 (Rev 6). This
Directive only applies to U.S.-flagged
vessels subject to the Maritime
Transportation Security Act (MTSA) on

designated high risk waters, and
provides additional counter-piracy
guidance and mandatory measures for
these vessels operating in these areas
where acts of piracy and armed robbery
against ships are prevalent. MARSEC
Directive 104–6 (Rev 6) also includes an
annex that provides specific direction
for vessels operating around the Horn of
Africa. Although MARSEC Directives
are designated Sensitive Security
Information (SSI) and are not subject to
public release, a non-SSI version of this
directive is available.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
Background and Purpose
Somali pirates operate along a 2,300
mile coast and in 2.5 million square
miles of ocean. The international
community has engaged with local
officials in a focused domestic and
international anti-piracy effort to
address the enforcement difficulties
caused by the affected area’s size and
political complexity. Despite these
efforts, piracy persists and the
combination of piracy and weak rule of
law in the region provides a potential
breeding ground for additional
transnational threats. Accordingly, the
United States uses existing statutory
authority to develop security standards
designed to protect U.S.-flagged vessels
and continues to work with
international partners to prevent piracy.
On February 10, 2006, the Coast
Guard announced the release of
MARSEC Directive 104–6 (71 FR 7054)
for those owners and operators of
vessels subject to 33 CFR parts 101 and
104. MARSEC Directive 104–6 provides
direction to U.S.-flagged vessels
operating in high risk areas where acts
of piracy and armed robbery against
ships are prevalent.
MARSEC Directive 104–6 has been
revised five times. MARSEC Directive
104–6 (Rev 1) provided an updated list
of high risk waters based on a biennial
review of global piracy and terrorism
threats.
MARSEC Directive 104–6 (Rev 2)
provided additional counter-piracy
guidance to U.S.-flagged vessels
operating in high risk waters where acts
of piracy and armed robbery against
ships are prevalent. It also provided a
listing of additional high risk waters,
updated from the previous version of
the Directive.
MARSEC Directive 104–6 (Rev 3)
encouraged the use of industry best
management practices that have proven
to be successful in thwarting pirate
attacks and incorporates lessons-learned
since the issuance of Revision 2.
PO 00000
Frm 00033
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

MARSEC Directive 104–6 (Rev 4)
provided clarification for U.S.-flagged
vessels berthed or anchored in high risk
waters. Vessels at anchor should operate
in a manner consistent with vessels that
transit through high risk waters.
Whether at anchor or underway, the
vessels are subjected to the same type of
threats from attacking pirates. Vessels
berthed in high risk waters should
implement enhanced security measures
as required by the MARSEC Directive.
MARSEC Directive 104–6 (Rev 5)
addressed the expanding operating area
of Somali pirates and provides U.S.flagged vessels additional guidance for
operations in the Indian Ocean.
MARSEC Directive 104–6 (Rev 6), the
Directive that is the subject of this
notice of availability, provides a revised
and updated list of designated high risk
waters and areas. MARSEC Directive
104–6 (Rev 5) is no longer valid with the
issuance of (Rev 6).
We developed piracy-related Port
Security Advisories (PSAs) to provide
further guidance and direction to U.S.flagged vessels operating in high risk
waters to help facilitate compliance
with MARSEC Directive 104–6 (series).
The PSAs can be found at https://
homeport.uscg.mil/piracy, including a
non-SSI version of this MARSEC
Directive in PSA (2–09) (Rev 3).
Procedural
COTPs and District Commanders can
access all MARSEC directives on
Homeport by logging in and going to
Missions > Maritime Security >
Maritime Transportation Security Act
(MTSA) > Policy. Owners and operators
of U.S.-flagged vessels that travel on
international voyages must contact their
local COTP, cognizant District
Commander or the Office of Vessel
Activities to acquire a copy of MARSEC
Directive 104–6 (Rev 6). COTPs or
cognizant District Commanders may
provide this MARSEC Directive to
appropriate vessel owners and operators
via mail or fax in accordance with SSI
handling procedures.
