From Marine Log: On October 16, port workers, longshoremen, truckers and others at the port of Wilmington, Del., will become the first workers in the U.S. to enroll in the DHS Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) program. The program ensures that any individual who has unescorted access to secure areas of port facilities and vessels has received a thorough background check and is not a security threat.
