The Academy shall ensure appropriate safeguards, oversight, and operational policies and procedures are maintained while personnel are berthed aboard the Training Ship in accordance with all applicable regulations. The Academy shall ensure the Vessel Security Plan is developed and executed to reflect the berthing of personnel aboard. At least ninety (90) days prior to the commencement of berthing of personnel aboard, the Academy shall submit to the Operations Director for approval a plan detailing the quantities of personnel to be berthed (crew, cadets, and/or Academy personnel), justification for their berthing aboard, what safeguards and operational procedures will be implemented to ensure the safety of personnel and regulatory compliance, and the periods of time the personnel will be berthed aboard. The plan shall be submitted for approval annually along with the Academy’s submission of the Training Ship’s Annual Business Plan. Should the Administration require the use of the Training Ship for any reason (reference Article 6 (B) (7)), the Academy will be responsible for relocating all personnel berthed aboard the Vessel. The Administration may work with the Academy to assist with relocation.
