Ships carrying dangerous cargo get new exclusion zones in Corpus Christi waterways

The Coast Guard can now create temporary security zones around ships carrying specific dangerous goods in Corpus Christi. This means other vessels cannot enter these zones without direct permission from the local port authority.

The Coast Guard now has a new tool to protect specific ships carrying hazardous materials. This allows them to quickly cordon off an area if a threat emerges, rather than relying on fixed security measures. It makes security dynamic, not static.
