International Port Security Program USCG (U.S. Coast Guard) Accent Coffee Mug

The International Port Security (IPS) Program, managed by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), is a global initiative aimed at enhancing maritime security and facilitating safe and efficient trade. This program focuses on strengthening partnerships with foreign governments, port authorities, and industry stakeholders to mitigate risks associated with terrorist acts and other illegal activities that could compromise the security of international ports. Key components of the IPS Program include the Maritime Security Regime (MSR) and the Facility Security Officers (FSO) program, which provide guidelines for implementing and maintaining effective security measures within port facilities worldwide. The program is part of broader efforts by the USCG to safeguard the United States' maritime borders and promote global cooperation in maintaining secure and resilient port systems.
