Columbia Coastal Security

Plan Approved

Columbia Coastal Transport, an East

Coast container barge operator, said that its Vessel Security Plan was approved by the U.S. Coast Guard. This approval remains valid for five years, and insures the company's compliance with the final

Maritime security requirements mandat- ed by the Maritime Transportation

Security Act (MTSA) of 2002. "Columbia Coastal is among the first companies to date that have had their

Vessel Security Plans approved by the

U.S. Coast Guard." said Bruce Fenimore, president of Columbia Coastal. "This indicates not only our commitment to serve our customers without interruption, but also to the ports and terminals that we call on a regular basis. As a U.S.-flag operator, our commitment to security is paramount, and this early approval shows that we take that commitment seriously."
