TWIC stands for Transportation Worker Identification Credential and is required by the Maritime Transportation Security Act for workers who need to access maritime vessels and facilities. U.S. citizens and immigrants in certain immigration categories may apply for TWIC. If one does not have TWIC, one must be accompanied by a person who holds the credential. Our Port staff members have TWIC cards. If you are interested in obtaining a TWIC card, useful information can be found at https://www.tsa.gov/for-industry/twic or by calling 1-855-347-8371.
