Excellent Score for Port Security
F
or the fourth year in a row, the U.S. Coast Guard has given an excellent
security rating to the Port of Baltimore’s public marine terminals.
In a letter to Maryland Port Administration (MPA) Executive
Director James J. White, U.S. Coast Guard Sector Baltimore Captain
of the Port Mark P. O’Malley called the assessment “excellent” and
said, “The success of this year’s exam was due in large measure to the
outstanding professionalism, commitment and dedication exhibited by the
operations and port security departments and Maryland Transportation
Authority Police. The efforts MPA has made to renovate facilities while
also establishing more effective security risk mitigation strategies has
demonstrated your continued dedication to securing your facilities.”
Governor Martin O’Malley noted, “The most basic responsibility that
any government — federal, national or local — has is to protect the
well-being of our people. In Maryland, we have 12 core capacity goals to
improve homeland security, and among them is improved transportation
security. Thanks to our federal and state partners who have worked
together to make significant investments and improvements, the Port is
among the most secure in the nation for four years in a row.”
