ANTITERRORISM MARITIME HOMELAND SECURITY BARRIERS FOR LIQUIFIED NATURAL GAS (LNG) TANKERS, LNG PLANTS & LNG TERMINALS

The heightened focus upon maritime homeland security has led to increased scrutiny of the security measures that are in place to protect our nation's key infrastructure elements. The LNG Terminal infrastructure that has been created over the last 50 years is vital to our country's economy and welfare; consequently they represent a high value target for terrorists.

The terrorist acts against the United States on September 11, 2001, have increased the need for maritime port safety and maritime port security measures on U.S. ports and waterways. In response to these terrorist acts, and in order to prevent similar occurrences, the United State Coast Guard has established temporary maritime security zones around all LNG terminals.

Recognizing the value of our nation's LNG terminal industry and the terrorist threat that they currently face; Wave Dispersion Technologies, Inc developed the Rapidly Deployed Small Craft Intrusion Barrier (RD-SCIB™) to protect these valuable assets from terrorist activities.
