How will port facilities in non-IMO/non-SOLAS countries, such as Taiwan, be addressed?
• A: The U.S. government has requested that all non-IMO/non-SOLAS countries that wish to trade with the United States fully implement the applicable requirements of ISPS Code Part A, taking into account the relevant provisions of Part B of the Code, and report compliance to the Coast Guard by July 1, 2004. The Coast Guard will deem countries that fail to report ISPS compliance to the Coast Guard by July 1, 2004 to be non-compliant. Foreign vessels seeking entry to the U.S. after calling a non-compliant country should implement the additional security actions described directly above.
