Top Coast Guard security official retires
The U.S. Coast Guard said Rear Adm. Thomas H. Gilmour, assistant commandant for prevention, will retire today. He will be replaced by Rear Adm. Craig Bone, head of the Inspection and Compliance Directorate.
Gilmour was responsible for overseeing the implementation of post-Sept. 11, 2001 national and international regulations for vessel and port security. He also helped coordinate the government’s national response plan for maritime-related disasters, the formation of a cabinet-level committee on maritime transportation, detailed risk assessment policy for liquefied natural gas (LNG) vessel traffic, and a detailed permit process for deep water LNG ports.
