Notice.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Conditions of entry are
imposed on vessels arriving in U.S.
waters from foreign ports that do not

measures. In 2012, the Coast Guard
announced the imposition of conditions
of entry on vessels arriving from all
ports in Yemen, except for the Ash
Shihr Terminal, the Port of Hodeidah,
and the Balhalf LNG Terminal. Today,
the Coast Guard announces that
conditions of entry will be imposed on
vessels arriving from the Ash Shihr
Terminal and the Port of Hodeidah. The
2012 exception remains in place for
vessels arriving from the Balhalf LNG
Terminal.

Discussion
The authority for this notice is 5
U.S.C. 552(a), 46 U.S.C. 70110, and DHS
Delegation No. 0170.1, para. II (97.f). As
delegated, section 70110 authorizes the
Coast Guard to impose conditions of
entry on vessels arriving in U.S. waters
from ports that the Coast Guard has not
found to maintain effective antiterrorism measures.
In 2012,1 the Coast Guard determined
that all but three ports in the Republic
of Yemen were not maintaining effective
anti-terrorism measures, that Yemen
presented significant risk of introducing
instruments of terror into international
maritime commerce, and that Yemen
possessed significant deficiencies in its
legal regime, designated authority
oversight, access control, and cargo
control. Therefore, the Coast Guard
announced the imposition of conditions
of entry on vessels arriving from any
Yemeni port except the Ash Shihr
15801
Terminal, the Port of Hodeidah, or the
Balhalf LNG Terminal.
The Coast Guard no longer finds that
the Ash Shihr Terminal and the Port of
Hodeidah are maintaining effective antiterrorism measures. Therefore the Coast
Guard is removing the exception for
those ports. Vessels arriving from the
Balhalf LNG Terminal will continue to
be excepted from the conditions of entry
outlined in this notice.
Beginning April 8, 2015, the
conditions of entry shown in Table 1
will apply to any vessel that visited a
non-excepted Yemeni port in its last
five port calls.

Each vessel must:
Implement measures per the vessel’s security plan equivalent to Security Level 2 while in a port in the Republic of Yemen. As
defined in the ISPS Code and incorporated herein, ‘‘Security Level 2’’ refers to the ‘‘level for which appropriate additional protective security measures shall be maintained for a period of time as a result of heightened risk of a security incident.’’
Ensure that each access point to the vessel is guarded and that the guards have total visibility of the exterior (both landside and
waterside) of the vessel while the vessel is in ports in Yemen.
Guards may be provided by the vessel’s crew; however, additional crewmembers should be placed on the vessel if necessary
to ensure that limits on maximum hours of work are not exceeded and/or minimum hours of rest are met, or provided by outside security forces approved by the vessel’s master and Company Security Officer. As defined in the ISPS Code and incorporated herein, ‘‘Company Security Officer’’ refers to the ‘‘person designated by the Company for ensuring that a ship security
assessment is carried out; that a ship security plan is developed, submitted for approval, and thereafter implemented and
maintained and for liaison with port facility security officers and the ship security officer.’’
Attempt to execute a Declaration of Security while in a port in Yemen;
Log all security actions in the vessel’s security records; and
Report actions taken to the cognizant Coast Guard Captain of the Port (COTP) prior to arrival into U.S. waters.
In addition, based on the findings of the Coast Guard boarding or examination, the vessel may be required to ensure that each
access point to the vessel is guarded by armed, private security guards and that they have total visibility of the exterior (both
landside and waterside) of the vessel while in U.S. ports. The number and position of the guards has to be acceptable to the
cognizant COTP prior to the vessel’s arrival.
The following countries currently do
not maintain effective anti-terrorism
measures and are therefore subject to
conditions of entry: Cambodia,
Cameroon, Comoros, Cote d’Ivoire,
Cuba, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau,
Iran, Liberia, Madagascar, Nigeria, Sao
Tome and Principe, Syria, Timor-Leste,
Venezuela, and Yemen. This list is also
available in a policy notice available at

Maritime Security tab; International Port
Security Program (ISPS Code); Port
