"Biden Administration's Cybersecurity Initiative to Safeguard US Ports and Replace Chinese-Made Cranes"

The Biden-Harris Administration is taking steps to enhance the cybersecurity of U.S. ports and strengthen the nation's maritime infrastructure. This includes issuing an Executive Order to address maritime cyber threats, implementing cybersecurity standards for American ports, and investing over $20 billion in U.S. port infrastructure. Additionally, the U.S. Coast Guard will issue a Maritime Security Directive on cyber risk management for cranes manufactured by the People’s Republic of China, and a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on cybersecurity in the Marine Transportation System. The Administration aims to bring domestic onshore manufacturing capacity back to America to provide safe, secure cranes to U.S. ports, as part of its efforts to bolster supply chain resilience and national security.
