The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) published the Transportation Worker Identity Credential (TWIC) Final Rule on January 25, 2007, with an effective date of March 26, 2007. The rule will require maritime workers, and all mariners that need unescorted access to a Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) regulated facility or vessel to possess the credential by September 25, 2008. During the eighteen month enrollment period, mariners may use their current Merchant Mariner Document (MMD), with a valid Driver’s License.
