AAPA responds to port security joint House Homeland-China select report

Sep 12, 2024

The American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA) today released a statement in response to the Select Committee on the CCP and House Homeland Committee's joint report on port security:

“America’s ports thank the China Select and House Homeland Security Committee's Majority for their work and attention on port cybersecurity," stated AAPA President and CEO, Cary S. Davis. "Due to our constant work with the U.S. Coast Guard, other federal law enforcement, and private sector experts, there have been no known security breaches involving port equipment to date. We are eager to continue collaborating with Federal Government leaders to respond to evolving threat landscapes with forward looking policy solutions like waivers to burdensome procurement requirements and incentives for the domestic manufacture of critical port equipment.”
