The Coast Guard is creating a temporary, moving security zone within a 500-yard radius around the vessel M/V ARC INDEPENDENCE in the Corpus Christi Ship Channel. This zone aims to protect the vessel, its cargo, and the waterway from potential threats like terrorism or accidents. The security measures will be enforced from December 20 to 27, 2024, and nobody is allowed to enter the zone without permission from the Captain of the Port or their designated representative. This rule is enacted swiftly for safety reasons and has minimal impact on other vessels as they can request permission to enter the zone if needed.

The Coast Guard has implemented a temporary moving security zone around vessels transporting sensitive cargo in the Corpus Christi Ship Channel and La Quinta Channel, effective from December 1 to December 16, 2024. Entry into this 500-yard security zone is restricted and only permitted with explicit authorization from the Captain of the Port, ensuring the protection of the vessels and surrounding waters from security threats. This rule is not expected to significantly affect small businesses or marine traffic, as most vessels can navigate around the zone. Additionally, the Coast Guard respects First Amendment rights and suggests coordination for protest activities to ensure safety and security.
