PCCA POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.01 SUMMARY

A. This section specifies the policies and procedures by which the PCCA, an "at will" employer, is governed and by which the PCCA obligates the Contractor, his employees, his subcontractors and suppliers, and their employees.

B. This specification is intended to provide a minimum policy level for all personnel working on PCCA property. In addition, the Contractor may implement and enforce his own personnel policies if more stringent or encompassing than this specification.

1.02 EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER

The Port of Corpus Christi Authority is an equal opportunity employer. It is the policy of the PCCA not to allow discrimination against any person in job structuring, recruitment, examination, selection, appointment, placement, training, upward mobility, discipline, or any other aspect of personnel administration based on a person’s sex, race, age, religion, color, disability, citizenship, national origin, or veteran status. An occupational qualification may, however, disqualify certain persons from a particular job.

1.03 AFFIRMATIVE ACTION POLICY

The PCCA recognizes that equal employment opportunity can only be fully achieved with a firm commitment to the concept of Affirmative Action. Therefore, the PCCA has adopted an Affirmative Action Plan to continue to remove employment practices which could negatively impact an identifiable, protected group of persons and to apply good faith efforts to seek out, employ, train, and promote under-represented protected group members into and within the PCCA’s workforce.

1.04 COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS

It is the policy of the PCCA to comply with applicable federal and state laws including, without limitation, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Americans with Disabilities

Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and the Texas Worker’s Compensation Act.

1.05 HARRASSMENT POLICY

The PCCA is determined to maintain a work environment that is free of harassment, exploitation, and intimidation based on sex, race, age, religion, color, disability, national origin, or veteran status. All employees, whether of the PCCA or the Contractor or his subcontractors and suppliers, are expected to comply with this policy. Failure to do so

SECTION 00 73 10 Page 2 of 10 may result in termination of an individual or termination of the contract. The Contractor will adhere to the following policy and procedure with regard to any harassment incident.

A. General: The PCCA does not condone and will not tolerate harassment of employees on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, citizenship, veteran status, disability, or work-related injury or illness.

Harassment may include physical conduct as well as insulting remarks or jokes.

The PCCA considers harassment to be a grave act of misconduct and may subject the perpetrator to disciplinary action up to and including discharge from employment. Harassment of employees by co-workers, clients, visitors, vendors, or other third parties will also not be tolerated.

B. Sexual Harassment: The PCCA is concerned about the prevention of sexual harassment. For purposes of this policy, sexual harassment includes unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal, graphic or physical conduct of a sexual nature where:

1. Submission to such conduct is either an expressed or implied term or condition of an individual’s employment;

2. Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions affecting that individual; or

3. Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive working environment.

C. Handling of Harassment Complaints:

1. If any employee feels that he or she has been harassed in violation of the

PCCA’s policy on harassment, he or she should immediately report the alleged harassment to his or her supervisor or the Director of Human

Resources of the PCCA. An employee need not first make a report to his or her supervisor. In other words, an employee may report directly to the

PCCA Director of Human Resources. Any employee or supervisor who observes or becomes aware of possible sexual or other unlawful harassment should immediately advise the PCCA Director of Human

Resources. All complaints will be promptly and thoroughly investigated.

The PCCA will treat complaints of harassment in as confidential a manner as possible, releasing information only to those with a need or right to know.

2. No employee should assume that the PCCA is aware of a problem. Please bring complaints and concerns to the PCCA’s attention so that we may take steps to correct them.

3. No retaliation will be taken against any employee because he or she reports a problem concerning possible acts of harassment. Employees can

SECTION 00 73 10 Page 3 of 10 raise concerns and make reports without fear of reprisal. If you have any question about what constitutes harassing behavior, feel free to speak with your supervisor or the PCCA’s Director of Human Resources.

1.06 WORKPLACE VIOLENCE POLICY

The PCCA is committed to preventing workplace violence and to maintaining a safe work environment. Intimidation, harassment or other threats of (or actual) violence is prohibited during business hours or on PCCA premises. All employees, whether of the

PCCA or the Contractor or his subcontractors and suppliers, are expected to comply with this policy. Failure to do so may result in termination of an individual or termination of the contract. The Contractor will adhere to the following policy and procedure with regard to any violent workplace incident.

A. General: Given the increasing violence in society in general, the PCCA has adopted the following guidelines to deal with intimidation, harassment or other threats of (or actual) violence that may occur during business hours or on PCCA premises.

B. Prohibited Conduct:

1. All employees, including temporary employees and those of the

Contractor and his subcontractors and suppliers, will be treated with courtesy and respect at all times. Conduct that threatens, intimidates or coerces another employee, a customer, or a member of the public at any time, including off-duty periods, will not be tolerated. This prohibition includes all acts of harassment, including harassment that is based on an individual’s sex, race, age, national origin, disability, religion, veteran status, or any characteristic protected by federal, state, or local law.

2. The PCCA does not permit any employee, former employee, client or other person (excluding bona fide law enforcement personnel) to use or possess firearms, weapons, and other dangerous or hazardous devices or substances on PCCA premises. Furthermore, pursuant to Texas Penal

Code §30.06 (trespass by holder of license to carry a concealed handgun), a person licensed under Texas Revised Statutes Article 4413 (29EE)

(concealed handgun law) may not enter PCCA property with a concealed handgun.

C. Reporting Conduct:

1. All threats of (or actual) violence, both direct and indirect, should be reported immediately to a supervisor, Manager of Risk Management, or to the PCCA’s Human Resources Department. This includes threats by employees, as well as threats by customers, vendors, solicitors, or other members of the public. When reporting a threat of violence, be as specific and detailed as possible.

SECTION 00 73 10 Page 4 of 10

2. All suspicious individuals or activities should also be reported as soon as possible to the PCCA’s Manager of Risk Management or the PCCA’s

Human Resources Department. Employees are requested not to place themselves in peril. If a commotion or disturbance occurs near the work area, employees are requested not to try to intercede or see what is happening, but to report it immediately. The PCCA will promptly and thoroughly investigate all reports of threats of (or actual) violence and of suspicious individuals or activities. The identity of the individual making a report will be protected as much as practical. Anyone determined to be responsible for threats of (or actual) violence or other conduct that is in violation of these guidelines will be subject to prompt disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.

3. The PCCA encourages employees to bring their disputes or differences with other employees to the attention of their supervisor or the PCCA’s

Director of Human Resources before the situation escalates into potential violence. The PCCA is eager to assist in the resolution of employee disputes and will not discipline employees for raising such concerns.

1.07 SUBSTANCE ABUSE POLICY

The PCCA recognizes its responsibility to implement measures necessary to ensure the safe and efficient operation of its facilities and services, not only for the protection and wellbeing of our employees and the operations of our organization, but also in the interests of the public. As a result of the growing concern about drug and alcohol use in the workplace and the potential impact with respect to the safe and secure operation of our facilities and services, the PCCA has developed a substance abuse policy. All employees, whether of the PCCA or the Contractor or his subcontractors and suppliers, are expected to comply with this policy and Section 2.10, “Drug-Free Workplace,” of the

General Conditions. Failure to do so may result in termination of an individual or termination of the contract. The Contractor will adhere to the following policy and procedure with regard to any substance abuse incident.

A. Policy Violations: The following are violations of this policy:

1. Engaging, on the job or off the job, in current illegal use, possession, consumption, exchange, delivery, manufacture, distribution, sale, or purchase of any drug;

2. Engaging in the improper use or possession of prescription drugs.

Employees may use or possess prescription drugs at work only if:

a. The drugs/medications have been prescribed by a health care provider (authorized by law to prescribe such drugs) for the person in possession of the drugs/medications.

b. The drugs/medications are kept in their original container, which identifies the drug, the dosage, the prescription date, the

SECTION 00 73 10 Page 5 of 10 prescribing health care provider, and the person for whom the drugs/medications were dispensed.

c. The drugs/medications are ingested or administered only in the prescribed or recommended therapeutic dosages, and all restrictions on the use of the prescription drugs are observed by the employee.

3. Engaging in the use of over-the-counter drugs/medications in a manner inconsistent with the instructions or warnings on the container for the drug/medication.

4. Possessing paraphernalia associated with the illegal use of drugs.

5. Engaging in current use, possession, consumption, exchange, delivery, distribution, or sale of any alcoholic beverage while at work, or on PCCA property, in PCCA vehicles, or in personal vehicles being used for PCCA purposes.

6. Engaging in off-the-job use of alcohol that adversely affects the employee’s ability to perform his/her job duties safely and/or efficiently.

This policy does not prohibit off-the-job use of alcohol by employees when that use does not adversely affect the employee’s ability to perform his/her job responsibilities safely and efficiently.

7. Reporting to work or performing job duties after having consumed drugs, including prescription or over-the-counter drugs, when that drug use may impair the employee’s ability to safely perform his/her job duties or may affect his/her safety and/or the safety of others.

8. Refusing to consent to a urinalysis and/or alcohol test as required by this policy or refusing to release the results of any such urinalysis and/or alcohol test.

9. Failure to comply or fully cooperate with any provision of this Substance

Abuse Policy.

10. Producing a positive test result on a urinalysis or alcohol test indicating a violation of this policy.

B. Penalties for Violations: Engaging in any illegal drug activity, producing a positive test result on a urinalysis test indicating the illegal use of drugs, refusal or failure to fully cooperate in testing, or any other violation of this policy will lead to discipline up to and including discharge.

C. Policy Enforcement: The PCCA reserves the right to perform urinalysis and/or alcohol testing under the following conditions:

SECTION 00 73 10 Page 6 of 10

1. Pre-Employment/Post-Offer Testing: Any applicant who has been presented with an offer of employment must submit to a urinalysis test.

An applicant who refuses to consent or submit to a urinalysis test will no longer be considered eligible for hire. Further, any offer made to an applicant who produces a positive test result for illegal drugs on a urinalysis test will be withdrawn.

2. Reasonable Suspicion Testing: When the PCCA determines that there is reasonable individualized suspicion to believe that an employee may have violated the prohibitions of this policy, the PCCA may require the employee to submit to urinalysis testing and/or alcohol testing.

Reasonable suspicion may be based upon, among other factors:

a. Observable phenomena, such as direct observation of alcohol or drug use and/or the physical symptoms of being impaired by a drug;

b. Deteriorating work performance, absenteeism, or poor personal hygiene;

c. A pattern of abnormal conduct, erratic or a marked change in personal behavior or attitude;

d. An arrest or conviction for a drug-related offense or the identification of an employee as the focus of a criminal investigation into illegal drug possession, use, or trafficking;

e. Information provided by reliable and credible or independently corroborated sources;

f. Newly discovered evidence that the employee has tampered with a previous drug/alcohol test.

g. Any supervisor who believes reasonable suspicion testing is appropriate in a particular case should immediately report that recommendation to the PCCA’s Director of Human Resources.

Before reasonable suspicion testing is administered, the PCCA’s

Director of Human Resources must substantiate the decision to test. If the decision to test is substantiated, arrangements will be made for transporting the employee to and from the sample collection site.

3. Post-Incident Testing: Any employee that management suspects may have caused, contributed to, or been involved in a job-related accident or injury is subject to urinalysis and/or alcohol testing. Post-incident testing occurs when there is reason to believe that an employee may have contributed to an injury to themselves, another employee, another person, SECTION 00 73 10 Page 7 of 10 or may have contributed to substantial damage to PCCA property or the property of another entity or individual.

4. Random Testing:

a. The PCCA may, in its sole discretion, choose to screen all employees holding safety-sensitive positions for the illegal use of drugs or improper use of alcohol in violation of this policy without a determination of reasonable suspicion that an employee is abusing alcohol and/or drugs, or may also conduct across-the-board drug screening by selecting certain job categories or departments and screening all employees holding safety-sensitive positions in those selected categories or departments. Submission to such testing is a condition of continued employment.

b. Additionally, random urinalysis testing or alcohol testing of specified percentages of the workforce holding safety-sensitive positions may be conducted. The percentage of the workforce tested and the timing and frequency of random testing is a matter within the sole discretion of management.

c. In order to ensure that any random drug screening is conducted in a nondiscriminatory manner, the PCCA will select employees by a computer program that randomly selects candidates for drug testing from a pool of all employees holding safety-sensitive positions. Employees selected to be tested on one random testing occasion will not be deleted from the pool on the next random testing occasion; all employees holding safety-sensitive positions are subject to being randomly selected for drug testing on any testing occasion.

5. Safety-Sensitive Positions: A “safety-sensitive position” includes a position that, to any extent, involves any of the following:

a. Emergency-response obligations for PCCA;

b. Functions necessary to maintaining PCCA security;

c. Driving a truck weighing more than 25,000 pounds or operating heavy mechanized equipment;

d. Inspecting, servicing, or conditioning such vehicles or equipment;

e. Directing, in any fashion, any ship or other vessel utilizing PCCA facilities or services;

f. Engaging in safety-sensitive communications with any ship or other vessel utilizing PCCA facilities or services; or

SECTION 00 73 10 Page 8 of 10

g. Any other function for which a momentary lapse by an employee could result in an accident.

6. Consent to Test: Compliance with the PCCA's Substance Abuse Policy is a condition of employment for all employees hired prior to and after the effective date of this policy. Current employees will be required to sign a written consent and release which will become part of each employee’s personnel file. Applicants will be required to sign a written consent and release before being subject to sample collection for pre-employment testing. Additionally, the PCCA will not perform a drug test or alcohol test on an applicant or employee without first obtaining the individual’s signed consent. The signed consent will also provide for the release of the test results to the PCCA.

7. Testing Requirements: Any drug test performed on applicants or employees will be performed utilizing the services of a qualified testing laboratory. Testing will consist of an initial screening (urine) test, wherein the urine specimen will be tested for the presence of drugs. If a positive test result is found, a second, more comprehensive test (Gas

Chromatograph/Mass Spectrometer test) will be conducted to confirm the results of the first test.

a. Applicants: If the results of the first test are confirmed, an applicant will be eliminated from consideration for employment.

b. Employees: If the results of the first test are confirmed, the employee will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including discharge.

c. For purposes of alcohol screening, the PCCA may employ existing methods of breath or blood testing to determine the level of intoxication. Refusal to submit to an ordered urinalysis or alcohol-screening test is a violation of PCCA policy and will result in termination.

8. Searches and Inspections: When the PCCA has good reason to suspect that there may be drug or alcohol use or possession in violation of this policy by employees or other persons on PCCA property, the PCCA reserves the right to conduct or employ specialists to conduct searches and inspections, including the use of scent-trained dogs. The Executive

Director must approve searches and inspections, which may be conducted at any time without notice. During any search, there will be at least one searcher and one observer present. In conducting such a search, management will attempt to carry it out in a confidential and discreet manner. Employee work areas, desks, lockers, briefcases, and personal vehicles parked on PCCA property may be subject to searches at any time.

The PCCA may also search any personal items brought onto PCCA

SECTION 00 73 10 Page 9 of 10 premises, and employees should have no expectation of privacy with regard to those items. In addition to drug and alcohol concerns, searches may be conducted for other legitimate reasons. Refusal to voluntarily submit to a search or inspection by a supervisor or authorized search specialist is a violation of PCCA policy and may result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal.

9. Rehabilitation, Treatment, and Education: An employee’s decision to admit to substance abuse and seek assistance for alcohol or drug abuse/dependency will not be used against the employee for disciplinary purposes. However, where facts establish a violation of this policy or other PCCA policies, requesting assistance will not prevent the imposition of disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment. The

PCCA encourages employees to seek rehabilitation; however, rehabilitation is the responsibility of the employee. Any employee seeking medical attention for alcoholism or drug addiction may use benefits under the PCCA's group medical insurance plan, if available

(questions about coverage may be directed to the PCCA’s Director of

Human Resources). Employees completing medical treatment or formal treatment programs will be required to submit to drug and alcohol screening tests prior to being allowed to return to work and as often as management deems appropriate for a period of one year thereafter

(without prior notice to the employee). Currently, the PCCA does not offer any drug or alcohol education, training, or treatment program for employees.

10. Modification of Policy: The PCCA may amend, modify or terminate this policy at any time. Employees will be notified of such actions. This policy, alone or in conjunction with other PCCA policies, does not constitute an employment contract or agreement between any employee and the PCCA.

11. Confidentiality: The test and results of any drug or alcohol test will be kept confidential. The identity of individuals in rehabilitation programs will also be kept confidential. A testing administrator will be designated to receive test results and will notify the appropriate supervisors on a need-to-know basis.

12. Employees who have any questions regarding this policy are encouraged to speak with the PCCA’s Director of Human Resources.

1.08 CONCEALED HANDGUN POLICY

The use or possession of firearms, except by law enforcement officials or authorized security personnel, is prohibited on all PCCA property. PCCA property includes all land, parking areas, facilities, buildings, offices, open and covered cargo storage areas, sheds and docks (including their entries and exits) owned, controlled or operated by the PCCA.

SECTION 00 73 10 Page 10 of 10

In addition, prohibited areas include PCCA equipment, machinery, railroad right-of-way, and roadways that are owned, controlled, or operated by the PCCA. Contractors will adhere to this policy. Failure to do so may result in the termination of an individual or termination of the contract.

ACCESS TO PORT AUTHORITY PROPERTY

ITEM 669 ( C ) ( R ) 04-21-2015

PART 1 - RESTRICTED ACCESS

1.01 DEFINITIONS

A. Escort: an individual, who has been issued a TWIC, who engages in escorting, as defined in the Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA), 33 C.F.R. § 101- 107, and who assumes the responsibility for accompanying authorized non-TWIC holder(s) into a TWIC secure area.

B. Escorting: ensuring that the escorted individual is continuously accompanied while within a TWIC secure area in a manner sufficient to observe whether the escorted individual is engaged in activities other than those for which escorted access was granted.

C. Restricted Area: the infrastructure or locations identified in an area, vessel, or facility security assessment or by the owner/operator that require limited access and a higher degree of security protection. (1 TWIC holder for 5 non-TWIC holders)

D. TWIC Secure Area: the area over which an owner/operator has implemented security measures for access control and includes restricted areas within TWIC secure areas. (1 TWIC holder for 10 non-TWIC holders)

E. Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC): a common identification credential for all personnel requiring unescorted access to secure areas of MTSA-regulated facilities and vessels, and all mariners holding Coast Guard-issued credentials. Individuals who meet TWIC eligibility requirements are issued a tamper-resistant credential containing the worker's biometric (fingerprint template) to allow for a positive link between the card and the individual.

1.02 To promote public safety and efficient operations, the Port Authority may restrict access to part of or all Terminal Facilities and other designated TWIC Secure and Restricted Areas within its jurisdiction. Users, however, are responsible for the security of any area of a Terminal Facility in which the User’s cargo or other personal property is located. The Port Authority is not responsible for providing escorts to non- TWIC holding personnel of Users. The User is responsible for providing TWIC holding escorts to accompany and/or monitor, as applicable, their non-TWIC holding personnel.

1.03 Before being authorized to escort a non-TWIC individual, the TWIC-holding escort must have prior authorization from the Port Authority to enter a Port facility (e.g. gate list, company letterhead document). Each authorized escort must complete the “Escort Agreement” form provided at the guard station. Each escort will be given a copy of the “Escort Rules.” TWIC Escorts shall comply with all rules pertaining to escorting non-TWIC individuals.

SECTION 01 14 13 Page 2 of 6

The TWIC escort and its employer assume all liability for penalties levied against the Port Authority for failure of the respective escort to comply with escorting responsibilities mandated by 33 C.F.R. §105 and other applicable U.S. Coast Guard requirements.

1.04 Docks, piers, and wharves, within secure areas, are restricted areas. Warehouses, designated open cargo storage areas adjacent to, or otherwise within the same immediate area of restricted areas, are designated TWIC secure areas. A TWIC is required for unescorted access to these TWIC secure and restricted areas at all times.

PART 2 - AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED TO ENTER UPON PORT AUTHORITY

PROPERTY

2.01 The security measures for control of access to Port Authority Property listed below are intended to fulfill the following purposes:

• Deter the unauthorized introduction of dangerous substances and devices, including any device intended to damage or destroy persons, vessels, facilities or ports.

• Secure dangerous substances and devices that are authorized by the Port Authority and the owner or operator to be on the facility; and control access to the facility.

A. TWIC/PHOTO IDENTIFICATION CARD

1. Except as otherwise noted in this paragraph, all persons requiring unescorted access to TWIC secure areas must possess, and present, a TWIC, before such access is granted. Federal officials are not required to obtain or possess a TWIC card. Except in cases of emergencies or other exigent circumstances, in order to gain unescorted access to a TWIC secure area, a federal official must present his/her agency’s official credential. Law enforcement officials, in the actual discharge of their official duty, at the State or Local level are not required to obtain or possess a TWIC to gain unescorted access to TWIC secure areas. State and local emergency responders are exempt from the requirement to have a TWIC when they are responding to an emergency.

2. At most Port Authority facilities, access to the facility is gained either through a guard manually logging the individual, or by the individual scanning their TWIC against a TWIC reader. In order to use TWIC readers, individuals must enroll their TWIC into the Port Authority Access Control System (instructions provided below). If an individual has not enrolled his or her TWIC with the Port Authority, the individual Will be required to present their TWIC, and one additional acceptable form of identification to the security guard at the access control point to the facility before access will be given. See 33 C.F.R. § 101.515. Individuals may enroll their TWIC into the Port Authority AMAG Access Control System. There is no fee for such enrollment. To enroll a TWIC with the Port Authority, the individual

SECTION 01 14 13 Page 3 of 6 must meet with the Port Access & Administrative Specialist at the Port Security Command Center, 1002 E. Port Avenue, Corpus Christi, Texas, 78401 (no appointment is needed). The individual must have a signed company letterhead document reflecting the request for authorization to enter a certain facility (or facilities), as well as the period of time (days/hours of the day) that entry will be necessary. Individuals desiring to enroll their TWIC with the Port Authority must know their TWIC Personal Identification Number (PIN) to be able to enroll their TWIC.

NOTE: If the PIN has been forgotten, the individual must request the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) TWIC Office to reset their PIN. When an individual has successfully enrolled their TWIC into the Port Authority Access Control System, the TWIC is the only identification that will be required to be presented by that individual to gain authorized and unescorted access to a Port Authority facility, in most cases. Port employees are issued Port Identification cards, in addition to their TWIC (if the employee is required to have a TWIC).

3. If an individual cannot present a TWIC because it has been lost, damaged or stolen, and he or she has previously been granted unescorted access to the facility and is known to have had a valid TWIC, the individual may be given unescorted access to TWIC secure areas for a period of no longer than seven (7) consecutive calendar days, or in accordance with the most current U.S. Coast Guard guidance, if the following requirements are met:

a. The individual has reported the TWIC as lost, damaged or stolen to TSA as required in 49 C.F.R. § 1572.19(f); and

b. The individual can present another identification credential that meets the requirements of 33C.F.R. § 101.515; and

c. There are no other suspicious circumstances associated with the individual’s claim of loss or theft.

4. If an individual cannot present his or her TWIC for any other reason, he or she may not be granted unescorted access to the TWIC secure area. The individual must be under TWIC escort, as described above, at all times when inside of a TWIC secure area.

5. With the exception of Federal, State and Local Regulatory & Law Enforcement/Emergency responders, all persons granted unescorted access to TWIC secure areas of the facility must be able to produce his or her TWIC upon request.

6. Personal vehicles that require access to TWIC secure areas of the Port Authority may be issued a decal, for a fee, that will permit them to remain within authorized areas on the facility. Vehicle decals expire, and must be

SECTION 01 14 13 Page 4 of 6 renewed, annually. See Part Four.

7. TWIC cards expire on the 5th anniversary from date of issue. Individuals must renew their TWIC enrollment in the Port Access Control System annually. Port Authority employee ID cards expire, and must be renewed, annually.

8. 33 C.F.R. § 105.257 entitled “Security Measures for newly-hired employees” applies to Port Authority personnel only. The Port Authority has an internal policy that addresses 33 C.F.R. § 105.257.

Tenant/Customer/Visitor newly-hired employees without a TWIC, require a TWIC escort in accordance with 33 C.F.R. § 105 and this Tariff Item.

PART 3 - SEAFARER ACCESS AND VISITOR PASSES

3.01 SHIPS’ CREW MEMBERS AND OTHER SEAGOING PERSONNEL

Ships’ crew members and other seagoing personnel calling at Terminal Facilities may be permitted access to Terminal Facilities, without a TWIC, for purposes of performing their assigned work on the dock immediately adjacent to the vessel. Otherwise, Ships’ crew members and other seagoing personnel must comply with TWIC regulations. The Port Authority Facility Security Officer (FSO), through his/her designated representative, will ensure the vessel Master or Vessel Security Officer (VSO), and ship’s agent be made aware of approved, no cost means of seafarer access between the vessel and the facility Access Control Point (gate).

3.02 VISITOR PASSES

Visitor passes will be issued to casual visitors at Access Control Points upon presentation of a photo ID issued by a city, state or federal agency and upon verification that the person has received Port Security authorization to enter a facility. Visitors must be escorted by a TWIC holder while in TWIC secure areas. Escorts must remain with their visitors while in TWIC secure areas. Vehicle and visitor passes must be surrendered/retrieved when the vehicle/person departs from the terminal facilities.

PART 4 - OPERATION OF MOTOR VEHICLES ON PORT AUTHORITY PROPERTY

4.01 All vehicles entering upon Port Authority property are subject to security screening at any time while on the facility. If the driver of a vehicle refuses to permit such security screening, access will be revoked and/or denied.

4.02 Only authorized vehicles may be operated in or on Terminal Facilities. If, in the judgment of the Port Authority, the use, driving, operating or parking of a motor vehicle does, or will interfere with the efficient and safe operations within Terminal Facilities, then designated Port Authority representatives, including the Port Authority’s security and police personnel, may order such vehicle(s) out of the area, or may order the removal of the vehicle from the Terminal Facility. The Port Authority may order the removal of

SECTION 01 14 13 Page 5 of 6 vehicles not in compliance with this provision, and in such event all towing and storage will be charged to the owner of the vehicle.

4.03 Certain areas have been or may be designated for parking and are so marked. Automobiles or other vehicles must be parked in these areas. Automobiles or other vehicles that are not parked in designated parking areas may be subject to removal as noted above.

4.04 Part Four is subject to Tariff Item 666 entitled Vehicles Prohibited on Docks During

Loading or Unloading

PART 5 - AUTHORIZED VEHICLES

5.01 Only the following vehicles will be permitted to drive into TWIC secure areas:

• Port Authority owned;

• Official government vehicles;

• Personal vehicles displaying a Port Authority issued decal; or

• Clearly marked contractor or vessel servicing company vehicle actively engaged in loading or unloading cargo, servicing a vessel or requiring access for some other authorized purpose.

5.02 Taxicabs and other conveyances-for-hire must display a Port Authority vehicle decal prior to being permitted access into secure areas.

5.03 For purposes of this section, “clearly marked” means company signage on the vehicle that is printed legibly, and that is of font size that would permit a reasonable person to easily read the information from at least 15’ from the side of the vehicle. Decals for personal vehicles owned by Port Authority employed personnel must be authorized by the Director of the Port department that the Port employee has been assigned to. There is no charge for decals issued to Port Authority personnel.

5.04 Registration Fee for a vehicle decal is Ten Dollars ($10.00). The fee may only be paid by cash or by a company issued check.
