MARSEC ADaPt Presented at AAPA
NMLEA
  
The American Association of Port Authorities Annual Conference was a huge success in Orlando, with over 600 attendees, multiple exhibitors, and dozens of networking opportunities. The NMLEA Executive Director, Mark DuPont, presented a talk on the Maritime Security Accreditation and Digitization Program (MARSEC ADaPt), and met with a number of port representatives in some one-on-one time to explain the program and its benefits to them, and to the Nation. "This program can bring every port in America into the digital age, beginning with a Digital Twin or three-dimensional model of their port and implementing a cybersecurity maturity model – while at the same time directly saving them money in critical areas like vulnerability assessments, training, table top exercises, cyber, insurance and security," said DuPont. "As Port Tampa completes their implementation and accreditation," he commented, "the question is who is going to be the next port to rise to this level?"

The Daily World
A Coast Guard law enforcement team operating in Coast Guard Sector Columbia River inspecting a commercial fishing vessel cited the vessel's crew for operating with what’s known as a "paper captain."
The practice of having a paper captain involves having a U.S. citizen listed on the documents as the vessel's captain so as to be within the regulations of the Jones Act, while a foreign national is actually in charge of the vessel, according to a news release.

The real squid game: The US Coast Guard is clashing with Chinese fishing fleets on the Pacific shores of Latin America
Fortune
This summer, as China fired missiles into the sea off Taiwan to protest House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to the island, a much different kind of geopolitical standoff was taking shape in another corner of the Pacific Ocean. Thousands of miles away, a heavily-armed U.S. Coast Guard cutter sailed up to a fleet of a few hundred Chinese squid-fishing boats not far from Ecuador’s Galapagos Islands. Its mission: inspect the vessels for any signs of illegal, unreported or unregulated fishing.
