Coos Bay Harbor Safety Committee

About Coos Bay Harbor Safety Committee

The Coos Bay Harbor Safety Committee (CBHSC) is a volunteer committee comprised of industry stakeholders; local, state and federal agencies; and waterway user groups to help improve local coordination and leadership within the nation's ports. The committee was created under the recommendation of the Interagency Committee for the Maritime Transportation System (ICMTS) and the MTS National Advisory Council (MRSNAC) which were created following a report to congress from the Maritime Transportation System (MTS) Task Force in September of 1999. The Task Force was appointed to assess the adequacy of the nation's marine transportation system.
