Next PSHSC Meeting: August 4, 2010

The Puget Sound Harbor Safety Committee (PSHSC) is a duly constituted body of public and private stakeholders who share common interests in the safe, efficient, and environmentally sound use of Puget Sound and adjacent waters. As such, PSHSC takes responsibility for capturing existing and developing new standards and protocols that address those environmental and operational elements of maritime operations that are singularly unique to Puget Sound.  The standards and protocols contained in the Puget Sound Harbor Safety Plan complement and supplement existing federal, state and local law.  The Harbor Safety Plan is not intended to replace the good judgment of a ship's master in the safe operation of his/her mariner of unique conditions that may be encountered.  These standards and protocols were developed and adopted by local experts for insuring greater safety in light of those conditions.
