GAO REPORT FINDS VULNERABILITIES IN LARGE TANKER SECURITY AT PORTS

摘要

The federal government needs to improve and better coordinate efforts to prevent terrorist attacks on energy commodity tankers in U.S. ports, according to a recently released Government Accountability Office report. "Much is being done, both internationally and domestically, to protect energy commodity tankers and their attendant facilities from attack, but not withstanding these actions, significant challenges may still leave tankers and facilities at risk," the Jan. 9 report states.
