Craft Intrusion Barriers (SCIB) - have been contracted for installation at the Port of Los Angeles (POLA) and the Port of Long Beach (POLB), the largest commercial ports in the

Loads are carried by steel cables encased in two in. EPDM rubber connecting cables. These same steel cables create a significant maritime port security barrier against intru- sions and/or entry by unauthorized, stray or threatening vessels.
The $2.9m agreement includes the design, fabrication and delivery of 10,000 ft. of floating security barri- ers. Delivery is anticipated to com- mence within 90 days and to be com- pleted by year's end.
