The U.S. Coast Guard does impose conditions of entry on vessels calling on the United States after port calls in Iran (or other ports that it has determined do not maintain effective maritime security/anti-terrorism measures). The conditions apply to any vessel that has visited a port on the Coast Guard’s list under Section B, within the past five (5) port calls. The most recent Port Security Advisory Notice from the Coast Guard was issued on May 27, 2011 and is attached hereto for your reference. The Coast Guard has identified steps required of the vessel while calling in Iran and then once it arrives in the United States. Upon arrival in the United States, the Coast Guard will board the vessel to ensure compliance with the required security measures. Very often, if the vessel is unable to demonstrate that it has effectively completed the steps noted in C1 – C5 of the PSA, then the Coast Guard may delay and/or deny entry into the United States. Even if permitted to enter, the Coast Guard will require armed guards to be stationed on the vessel in accordance with the authority granted by the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002. We note that the requirement of armed guards may be waived by the Coast Guard if the vessel can demonstrate that steps C1 – C4 were fully complied with.

Therefore there is no direct issue although the US authorities will monitor the vessel carefully which could cause delay.


港口安全建议 – 美国国土安全部

A. 背景
2002年《海上运输安全法》(MTSA)授权美国海岸警卫队对外国港口的防恐措施的进行评估，并规定凡是从未采取有效防恐措施的国家进入美国港口的准入条件。 

科摩罗（Union of the Comoros）、科特迪瓦（Republic of Cote d’Ivoire）成为最新加入这一名单的两个国家。以下C和D列明的要求将适用于上五个挂靠港中有属于这两个国家的，并且在2011年6月10日之后到达美国港口的船舶。

B. 受影响国家
美国海岸警卫队经评估认为以下国家的港口未采取有效防恐措施。

Comoros 
Cote d’Ivoire 
Cambodia（部分港口） 
Congo, Republic of the （部分港口） 
Cuba 
Equatorial Guinea（部分港口） 
Guinea-Bissau 
Indonesia（部分港口） 
Iran 
Liberia（部分港口） 
Madagascar（部分港口） 
Sao Tome and Principe 
Syria 
Timor-Leste 
Venezuela

C. 采取的措施
船舶的上五个挂靠港中如有属于B部分列明的国家的港口，且该船在A部分列明的时间之后到达美国，那么该船必须采取以下1-5项措施，才被允许进入美国港口。

  1. 实施了相当于二级（Security Level 2）的船舶安全计划
  2. 确保船舶的每个出入口都有严密看守，看守人员可由船员或另请的保安人员担任；如由船员担任，则必须保证船员的休息时间。
  3. 打算执行保安声明 （Declaration of Security）
  4. 在航海日志上记录所有（采取过的）安保措施
  5. 到港前通知美国海岸警卫队的港口负责人

对于以上船舶，美国海岸警卫队将登船检查，如发现船舶未能采取上述措施，则可能造成船舶延误或被拒绝进港。

D. 在港船舶应采取的措施
上述船舶在港期间，将被要求由武装人员看守，武装人员的数量和看守地点须经过认可。对于可以证明确实采取了良好的安保措施的船舶则可免于此项。
