We Keep Your Cargo Safe and Secure

Safety and security are top priorities at the Port of Hueneme. Since September 11, 2001, the Port and other government agencies responsible for security have greatly expanded their efforts to protect the Port complex and surrounding communities. The Port takes a leadership role in the development of strategies to mitigate security risks in the port complex, working closely with multiple partners, both public and private, to plan and coordinate security measures.

TWIC Requirements

Entry to restricted areas of the Port of Hueneme requires a Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC). The U.S. Department of Homeland Security identification program ensures that people accessing secure terminals have received a thorough background check and are not a security threat.

Protecting the Port

Port personnel monitor facilities, rail and road systems, respond to calls and have authority to access all marine terminals and cargo at the Port. Port personnel also operate round-the-clock camera surveillance, explosives detectors and other technologies to maintain protection of Port facilities, operations and employees.
Port personnel work with many government agencies, including the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Police Department, Fire Department, County Sheriff, Department of Emergency Management, and other state and local law enforcementwork agencies.

C-TPAT Certification

We are currently an applicant for membership of Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT), a government-business coalition committed to security and the expedited flow of international trade. This U.S. Customs and Border Protection program allows member importers to move their cargo more efficiently through security.
