The Port Authority of Guam has successfully passed the U.S. Coast Guard’s rigorous annual inspection of its container yard and cruise ship terminal.

The inspection ensures compliance with federal regulations governing maritime facility safety and security, reaffirming the Port’s ongoing commitment to excellence and operational integrity.

The U.S. Coast Guard's comprehensive inspection covered critical security and safety elements including security area protocols, the Port’s security measures and plans, training records, drills and exercises, hazardous waste management, emergency response plans, signage, and verification of the Facility Security Officer’s role. 

Additionally, the review encompassed Transportation Worker Identification Credential checks, CCTV operations, Maritime Security level compliance, and the Declaration of Security procedures.

On the safety front, the inspection evaluated electrical systems, flammable material storage, fire extinguishers, eyewash stations, beacon lights, the drum lot, emergency exits, smoke detectors, escape routes, LC 1-5 generators, facility housekeeping, lighting, and the international shore connection—all of which met U.S. Coast Guard standards.
