The Coast Guard announced Tuesday that tankers from Yemen carrying liquefied natural gas will be allowed into Boston Harbor starting later this month.
The decision comes despite concerns about Yemen supporting terrorists.
The Coast Guard will implement supplemental security measures both when the ships are loaded in Yemen and when they reach Broad Sound.
“The biggest item is to make sure no one has access to the ship that should not have access to the ship. We also want to make sure no one has access to the underwater hull of that ship and we do that through dive surveys,” said Capt. John Healey of the U.S. Coast Guard.
