Requirements imposed on ships from Timor
The U.S. Coast Guard is imposing restrictions on ships arriving from the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste.
A Department of Homeland Security assessment found that under U.S. law and the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code, that ports in Timor-Leste “are not maintaining effective antiterrorism measures.”
In order to enter the United States, ships that have been to Timor-Leste during their last five port calls must implement the “Security Level 2” measures and have posted guards while in Timor-Leste, and take other actions outlined in the Federal Register.
