00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:02.110
Scenario 3.

2
00:00:02.320 --> 00:00:04.680
An able seaman (AB) working on
the deck of

3
00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:07.990
a crude oil tanker during
discharge operations,

4
00:00:08.200 --> 00:00:10.680
notices a small boat with
three adult males on

5
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:13.800
board at the opposite side of
the channel.

6
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:16.360
One is at the helm, another is
standing next to

7
00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:19.160
a fishing pole, apparently
writing in a notebook,

8
00:00:19.360 --> 00:00:22.120
and the third appears to be
taking photos or video

9
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:24.880
of the oil terminal and tank
ship.

10
00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:27.520
It strikes the AB as being odd
since there have been

11
00:00:27.720 --> 00:00:30.760
no other pleasure craft
fishing in the channel.

12
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:35.280
And the men seem more interested in
their surroundings than in fishing.

13
00:00:35.480 --> 00:00:38.000
After a few minutes, the boat
travels a short distance

14
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:40.510
upstream, and the man with a
camera

15
00:00:40.720 --> 00:00:43.480
takes photos or video of the
area around the perimeter

16
00:00:43.680 --> 00:00:47.640
fence before the boat departs
toward the harbor.

17
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:50.400
The AB reports the suspicious
behavior

18
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:54.000
and a description of the boat
and passengers to the chief mate.

19
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:56.870
The Chief Mate calls the
National Response Center hotline

20
00:00:57.080 --> 00:00:59.510
to report the incident and
also passes

21
00:00:59.720 --> 00:01:02.240
the information to the
terminal security officer,

22
00:01:02.440 --> 00:01:06.000
who informs local law enforcement
in the captain of the port.

23
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:08.520
The next day a seaman returning
to the

24
00:01:08.720 --> 00:01:11.160
same terminal from shore leave
sees a man

25
00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:13.720
walking off distances along
the perimeter

26
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:17.880
service road, and examining a
lock on a gate.

27
00:01:18.080 --> 00:01:20.920
He is also examining buildings
and holding tanks

28
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.280
and jotting in a notebook.

29
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:27.280
The crew member tells the
security guard at the terminal entrance.

30
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:29.920
The security guard logs the
incident and reports

31
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:32.640
it to the terminal security
manager.

32
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:35.240
The terminal security manager
reports these

33
00:01:35.440 --> 00:01:39.670
two incidents to local law enforcement
and the National Response Center.

34
00:01:39.880 --> 00:01:43.800
Although these incidents were
not illegal they were suspicious.

35
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:46.670
Bringing these two incidents to
the attention of law enforcement

36
00:01:46.880 --> 00:01:49.520
and the National Response
Center allows local police

37
00:01:49.720 --> 00:01:53.160
and their federal partners to
compare similar reports.

38
00:01:53.360 --> 00:01:55.920
Upon investigation it is found
that similar

39
00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:58.520
surveillance by a small vessel
was reported just

40
00:01:58.720 --> 00:02:01.080
one week earlier, and there
was a separate

41
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:03.760
incident in which an attempt
was made by a man

42
00:02:03.960 --> 00:02:07.240
to gain access to the terminal
without a TWIC card.

43
00:02:07.440 --> 00:02:09.920
This scenario demonstrates how
you play a key

44
00:02:10.120 --> 00:02:12.280
role in the SA process.

45
00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:14.920
When viewed together, these
events may suggest

46
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:17.480
pre-operational planning
related to terrorism

47
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:20.040
or other criminal activity and
indicate

48
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:22.600
the need for the port and
terminal security managers to

49
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:24.920
step up security.

50
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.600
Likewise the reporting of these
suspicious

51
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.240
activities would prompt law
enforcement officials

52
00:02:30.440 --> 00:02:33.600
to identify similar events
involving maritime operations,

53
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:36.200
which when seen together may
be reasonably

54
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:39.000
indicative of pre operational
planning enabling

55
00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:41.960
them to react appropriately to
a possible terrorist plot.
