Citygate conducted a fire services staffing analysis for the Port of Corpus Christi to determine the cost, quantity, type, and recommended schedule necessary to staff a new 70-foot fireboat that will serve both as a Port security patrol boat and a firefighting asset. Additionally, Citygate recommended a Port organizational structure for an effective chain of command up through the Chief Operating Officer position, and provided input on considerations and implications regarding ongoing service delivery needs.

Citygate conducted a Marine firefighting risk and response assets analysis for the Port of Corpus Christi. This study reviewed the risks to be protected on and from the waterside areas of the Port, the emergency incident outcomes that are likely needed for business economics, and critical national infrastructure considerations compared to the Port’s current emergency response plans and assets provided today. If there was a gap of tolerated risk outcomes to current emergency service response capabilities, Citygate recommended solutions for the Port to close or reduce any identified fire protection gap(s) based on a review of other similar ports’ activities, national best practices, and port fire protection experience.
