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

The International Port Security Program (IPSP) is a comprehensive initiative led by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG). Its primary focus is enhancing security measures at international ports to prevent, detect, and respond effectively to potential threats posed by terrorism, illegal activities, and other forms of unlawful acts that could compromise maritime safety and economic stability. The program encourages cooperation between partner nations to share best practices, resources, and technology in maintaining secure port environments globally. It is a critical component of the broader mission of the USCG to protect the homeland, ensure the free flow of commerce, and uphold international law at sea.
