Official Summary

Congressional Research Service summary

International Port Security Enforcement Act This bill prohibits the Coast Guard from cooperating with a state sponsor of terrorism or foreign terrorist organization when assessing anti-terrorism security measures at a foreign port. It also requires the Coast Guard to apply sanctions to a port controlled by a state sponsor of terrorism. The bill specifies that the Coast Guard cannot (1) adopt a port security assessment conducted by a state sponsor of terrorism, or (2) enter into an agreement with a state sponsor of terrorism or foreign terrorist organization to assess a port's security measures or share information related to such an assessment. If a port is under the jurisdiction of a state sponsor of terrorism, the Coast Guard must deem the port to not have effective anti-terrorism measures and apply certain sanctions, such as requiring vessels arriving from the port to meet certain conditions for entry into the United States.

Key Points

Main provisions of the bill

The bill prohibits the Coast Guard from adopting security assessments conducted by state sponsors of terrorism or entering into agreements with them to assess port security.
If a port is under the control of a state sponsor of terrorism, the Coast Guard must deem it as not having effective anti-terrorism measures and apply sanctions, such as requiring special conditions for vessels arriving from that port.
The bill aims to enhance security by preventing the U.S. from relying on assessments or cooperation from countries and groups that are considered state sponsors of terrorism.

How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

This bill would primarily impact international ports and the shipping industry that relies on them. Ports controlled by state sponsors of terrorism would face increased scrutiny and sanctions from the U.S. Coast Guard, which could disrupt trade and commerce. Shipping companies would also have to comply with any new entry requirements for vessels arriving from affected ports.
