Pacific L. A. Marine Terminal LLC has developed a Terminal Security Plan for the new facility. The plan is designed to provide physical security for the terminal according to governmental regulations. Terminal Security Plans are submitted and approved by the US Coast Guard and the California State Lands Commission.

Ships arriving at the Port of Los Angeles must provide 96-hour advance notice and must be screened by the Coast Guard and Customs personnel. Ships are screened for proper safety systems, meeting international ships standards, past problems, security plans, crew manifest, passenger manifests, cargo information and past voyage information. The Coast Guard has options for denying entry to any vessel.

When ships arrive 25 miles offshore of the Port, they must check into the Vessel Traffic System (VTS). The VTS receives advance notice from the Coast Guard National Vessel Movement center of a ship’s intended arrival. VTS uses radar and Automatic Identification System to monitor ships moving within the boundaries of this zone. If ships do not comply with directions, they are not authorized entry and pilots will not board the vessel. Pilots are local navigation and ship handling experts who board these ships for entry into our port.

• Security organization
• Access control to the ship
