MTSA Cyber FAQs

The Coast Guard previously published Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) 01-20: Guidelines for Addressing Cyber Risks at MTSA Regulated Facilities as guidance for complying with Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) cybersecurity requirements. As part of that initiative, the Coast Guard has published a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document supporting NVIC 01-20 and cyber inclusion in Facility Security Plans (FSPs).

As the Coast Guard continues to work with its Facility Inspectors in the field and maritime industry stakeholders, it will continue to update the FAQs based on feedback.
