Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC)
Overview
The Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) program is a U.S. requirement mandated by the Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA). Compliance with TWIC requires that individuals needing unescorted access to regulated vessels and facilities obtain a TWIC. TWIC is a tamper-resistant biometric credential.
The program is overseen by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and
United States Coast Guard (USCG).
As an industry leader, APL was selected to participate in the Port of Los Angeles TWIC Reader Pilot Program. APL's participation in this pilot program is to ensure that the TWIC reader improves security and not adversely affect the flow of trade.
