7.1.1.1 The facility guards will check the identification of all personnel at the Facility Perimeter. Using access lists or other official correspondence, the guard will verify that the person entering the facility has official business that requires access to the facility. Turnstiles and badge systems, while not mandatory, are encouraged as these will help meet this requirement.

7.1.1.2 The Facility will inspect vehicles, hand carried items, cargo, and stores at the Facility perimeter.

7.1.2 The facility will employ water-filled or concrete block barriers to keep unauthorized vehicles at least 100 feet from the ship.

7.1.4 A continuous wooden, concrete or metal fence line (at least 6 feet high) shall be maintained at the Facility boundaries. Buildings with wood, concrete and/or metal can be used to maintain boundaries in lieu of a fence line.

7.1.5 Consistent with Naval Vessel Protection Zones, whenever possible, MSC ships will be berthed or dry docked so as to be no closer than 100 yards to other facilities or 100 yards to ships which are moored at other facilities.

7.1.6 The facility will employ lighting sufficient to illuminate the pier to which the MSC ship is moored as well as 10 feet on either side of all landside perimeters. Portable lighting can be used to meet this requirement.

At least one of these means shall be a two-way UHF or VHF portable radio. Exception: Portable UHF/VHF radios and cell phones will not be used whenever hostile explosives are suspected.
