Rules span agencies and jurisdictions
Updates may appear across federal rulemaking, Coast Guard policy, safety standards, environmental permits, shipping regulations and local port notices.

Why RegWatch
Ports and maritime compliance is not one rulebook.
Requirements can span the U.S. Coast Guard, OSHA, EPA, the Federal Maritime Commission, state agencies, port authorities and local jurisdictions. RegWatch brings the sources you select into a consistent monitoring and review process.
Operations vary by facility and cargo
A container terminal, bulk facility, ferry terminal and harbor service operator may each need a different watchlist.
Policies can lag behind change
Teams need a repeatable way to connect new requirements with facility security, cybersecurity, safety, environmental and operating procedures.
Too much noise, too little context
A raw alert is not enough. Reviewers need the source, important dates, affected topics and practical next steps.
Monitoring Coverage
Build a watchlist around how your port or maritime operation actually works.
Select the agencies, jurisdictions, facility types, vessel operations and topics that matter to your organization. Expand coverage as locations, cargoes and obligations change.
Maritime security and facility plans
Selected U.S. Coast Guard and MTSA sources, including 33 CFR Parts 101–106, facility or vessel security materials, Area Maritime Security guidance, and access-control requirements.
Cybersecurity and incident reporting
Selected 33 CFR Part 101 Subpart F requirements and Coast Guard guidance for covered vessels and facilities, including cyber plans, designated roles, training and reporting.
Marine terminal and longshoring safety
OSHA 29 CFR Parts 1917 and 1918, relevant State Plan materials, cargo-handling equipment, emergency planning, personal protection and terminal operations.
Environmental permits and vessel discharges
Selected EPA and Coast Guard vessel-discharge sources, port stormwater and air requirements, spill-prevention materials, and state or local environmental permits.
Shipping practices and terminal billing
Relevant Federal Maritime Commission materials, Shipping Act and OSRA requirements, marine terminal operator agreements, and detention or demurrage billing rules.
Dangerous cargo and pollution response
Selected Coast Guard and DOT hazardous-materials sources, waterfront facility rules, oil-transfer and pollution-prevention requirements, response plans and emergency notices.
Monitor availability and applicability vary by source, jurisdiction and organization. Your team chooses the watchlist it wants RegWatch to follow.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ports and maritime monitoring, without the guesswork.
Start with regulatory monitoring, then add policy assessment workflows when your team is ready.
Talk to AllgressWhich ports and maritime requirements can RegWatch monitor?
Organizations can select relevant federal, state and local sources, including U.S. Coast Guard maritime security and cybersecurity materials, OSHA marine terminal and longshoring standards, EPA vessel and port environmental sources, Federal Maritime Commission requirements, and selected state or local permits and notices. Available coverage depends on the selected monitors and sources.
Can we use RegWatch without uploading policies?
Yes. You can use RegWatch for regulatory monitoring and change alerts without uploading policies. Policy uploads are optional and enable policy assessment workflows.
Can a multi-port operator monitor different facilities and jurisdictions?
Yes. Your watchlist can be organized around the ports, facilities, vessel operations, cargo types, agencies and jurisdictions your organization selects.
How does policy assessment work?
You assign uploaded policies to relevant monitors. When selected requirements change, RegWatch can assess the assigned documents and identify areas that may require review, clarification or remediation.
Does RegWatch replace legal, safety or security professionals?
No. RegWatch provides regulatory intelligence, workflow support and policy assessment assistance. Your organization remains responsible for determining applicability and obtaining legal, safety, security, environmental or other professional advice where needed.
