The Transportation Security Administration on Friday released its monthly update to the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) canceled-card list, a database of TWIC cards revoked for security reasons. The November 15 list is now available for download in both CSV and visual formats, along with integrity hashes for cybersecurity verification.
Port operators, freight forwarders, and offshore platforms rely on TWIC cards to vet personnel who require unescorted access to secure areas of maritime facilities. Failure to deactivate a canceled card can expose companies to civil penalties and insurance liabilities. TSA recommends that facility-security officers integrate the list into access-control systems within 24 hours of publication.
![TSA Publishes November Update to TWIC Canceled-Card List, Urging Maritime Employers to Verify Credentials]()
The update comes as U.S. ports ramp up holiday-season cargo volumes. Employers should cross-check subcontractor crews—especially transient truck drivers—against the new list to avoid compliance violations. TSA also reminds expiring cardholders to renew at least 60 days in advance due to seasonal enrollment-center closures over Thanksgiving and the Day-after-Thanksgiving.
While routine, the monthly release is a critical control point for global-mobility teams managing maritime or energy projects that hinge on TWIC-cleared personnel.
