MORAN awarded citation from the United States Coast Guard for service on the Piscataqua River Liquified Petroleum Gas Vessel Security Team Press Release November, 2002  THE COMMANDANT OF THE UNITED STATES COAST GUARDWASHINGTON 20593 20 November 2002 MORAN TOWING OF NEW HAMPSHIRE PISCATAQUA RIVER LIQUIFIED PETROLEUM GAS VESSEL SECURITY TEAM for service as set forth in the following CITATION "For exceptionally meritorious service from October 2001 to September 2002, for superbly executing increased security measures developed as a result of the events of September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. During this period, 36 federal, state, local agencies and industries cooperated in the development and implementation of an Incident Action Plan that greatly enhanced security and allowed continued importation of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) into the Port of Portsmouth. The unprecedented increase in security measures were built upon the existing safety practices developed over a 25-year period. Through a series of exhaustive planning sessions, this dedicated team identified appropriate functional roles and responsibilities of each agency. As a result of these meetings during a period of great uncertainty in our Nation's security, a plan of action was developed to ensure safe commerce including, international coordination of intelligence, enforcement of 24-hour security zones, and boarding and hull inspections at sea of all LPG vessels. The unprecedented coordination of waterborne, shore-side, and bridge security assets enabled 22 successful transits of LPG vessels in the Port of Portsmouth. In particular, the local law enforcement agencies provided shore-side security while State Police and State Departments of Transportation coordinated for the traffic management of the 1-95 corridor. Throughout each transit, a Unified Command was established at the pre-designated Incident Command Post, which consisted of the U.S. Coast Guard, the town of Newington Fire Chief, New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services and other agency representatives. In preparation for LPG vessel offloads, a significant increase in facility and waterborne security was established and maintained throughout the discharge periods. Through the unprecedented level of cooperation among over 100 government and industry representatives, over 265,000 metric tons of LPG was imported into the Port of Portsmouth without incident, ensuring that the critical energy supply for the region was not interrupted.
