Abstract: The transportation, handling, and stowage of hazardous materials in U.S, portsandalong U.S. waterways are regulated by the U.S. Coast Guard. This regulatory authority extends over U.S. flag vessels anywhere in the world, foreign flag vessels in U.S, waters, and transfer terminals located adjacent to U.S. navigable waters. This paper will outline the regulatory philosophy of the U.S. oast Guard towards the movement and storage of hazardous materials in and or near our navigable waters, true to the impending importation of large quantities of liquefied natural gas by vessel and storage in port areas, LNG will be specifically discussed. It is important to note, however, that the Coast Guard views I.NG as only one of a number of hazardous materials moved through and stored near ports of this country, and not the most hazardous. One should keep in mind that the comments directed towards the movement and storage of LNG would apply equally to other products of similiar hazard.
