BOSTON - Petty Officer 3rd Class Kurt Tomcavage, a marine science technician from Coast Guard Sector Boston’s prevention department, conducts a container inspection at Conley Terminal Oct. 9, 2008, in an effort to maintain port security. During the inspection, Tomcavage checked for proper documentation and labeling, undeclared hazardous material and ensured the container’s contents were blocked and braced well enough for a transit at sea. In addition to these inspections, port workers, longshoremen and truckers will be required to obtain a Transportation Worker Identification Credential by October 15, 2008, to maintain a high level of port facility security.
