USCG Announces Charleston TWIC Deadline – December 1, 2008
Charleston, SC – Time is running out to enroll in the Transportation
Workers Identification Credential (TWIC) program. Earlier today, the U.S.
Coast Guard announced that Charleston’s TWIC compliance date will be
December 1, 2008.
TWIC is the new federally mandated ID for anyone that requires unescorted
access to secure areas of the port. The Transportation Security
Administration (TSA) is issuing workers a “Smart Card” embedded with
fingerprint information that links the card to the person.
In many cases, it is taking months to produce the cards, so now is the
time to enroll. Already, more than 4,400 truckers, longshoremen,
stevedores and others have enrolled at the Charleston TWIC enrollment
center. Of these, about 3,000 have received their cards.
Anyone that requires unescorted access to secure areas on the South
Carolina State Ports Authority’s public port terminals must apply for and
receive a TWIC, which costs $132.50. To avoid delays and impacts on the
port community and your business, the SCSPA encourages everyone that
requires access, including truck drivers, tenants, labor, and others, to
enroll as soon as possible.
Individuals may either enroll in person at the center or pre-enroll on
the web site. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has a
fixed TWIC enrollment center located at 4600 Goer Drive, Suite 112 in
North Charleston. The hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 8
a.m. to 5 p.m.
To pre-enroll in TWIC, visit https://twicprogram.tsa.dhs.gov/TWICWebApp/.
For more information on TWIC, visit http://www.tsa.gov/twic.
