October 2007
TWIC enrollment begins on October 16, 2007 at the
Port of Wilmington, DE. Dates for enrollment of workers at other ports have not
been posted at this time. Pre-enrolling online speeds up the process by
allowing workers to provide biographic information and schedule a time to
complete the application process in person.
August 2007
Facilities wishing to amend their MTSA restricted
area must do so by September 4, 2007. This option is not intended for bulk
liquid terminals. Tank farms that are specifically used to stage cargo for
loading to a vessel or to receive cargo at its first point of rest upon
discharge from a vessel “are not eligible for exclusion [NVIC 3.4.a(2)]. All
ports will begin to enforce TWIC rules no later than September 25, 2008.
July 2007
Coast Guard released the Navigation
and Vessel Inspection Circular 03-07. This document is intended
to provide guidance for the implementation of the TWIC program in the maritime
sector.
April 2007
TSA identified 120 locations to
serve as enrollment centers for the TWIC implementation process. Enrollment in
the TWIC program is scheduled to open at the Port of Wilmington in Delaware.

enrollments will follow in New York, NY, Miami, FL, Philadelphia, PA, Norfolk,
VA, Baltimore, MD, Jacksonville, FL, and Charleston, SC. The deadlines for
completion of the process have not been published; however, each Captain of the
Port is to notify facilities 90 days before compliance is required.
