Secure Smartports Act of 2024
S 4369, the Secure Smartports Act of 2024, requires the Director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center to develop a strategy and conduct outreach to U.S. shipping companies, port operators, and logistics firms about national security risks associated with Chinese smartport technology. It specifically identifies entities like COSCO, CCCC, ZPMC, and CMG as posing risks to U.S. supply chains, national security, and commercial activity, including potential system access disruptions. The outreach must align with existing executive orders and laws related to supply chain security and port safety. The bill does not impose new restrictions but mandates coordination with agencies like the Coast Guard and FBI to address these identified risks.
