3.2.3 Criteria Group 3: 33 CFR Compliance Facilities and vessels that fall under 33 CFR 104 and 105 must implement security measures that fall under the five general categories listed below. If your operation is in compliance with these regulations, these categories may not be important for you when evaluating additional security measures.
