Unauthorized persons or vessels are prohibited from entering into, transiting through, or remaining in the safety zone without permission of the Captain of the Port or their designated representative.

The Towing Safety Advisory Committee (TSAC) will meet via teleconference to review and discuss a new Task Statement titled ``Recommendations for Safety Standards of Portable Facility Vapor Control Systems'' and to discuss the progress of open Task Statements. This meeting will be open to the public.
