Strategic Ports Reporting Act of 2024

The Strategic Ports Reporting Act of 2024 requires the U.S. Department of Defense to study strategic ports worldwide, focusing on China's efforts to expand control through companies like China Ocean Shipping Company and products such as LOGINK. The study must assess how Chinese influence over these ports could harm U.S. security and economic interests, including vulnerabilities in both Chinese- and U.S.-controlled ports. Within one year of enactment, the Department must submit a detailed report to Congress, including lists of key ports, analysis of China's activities, and a strategy for securing trusted ownership of maritime infrastructure. This bill directly affects the Department of Defense and relevant congressional committees, mandating a concrete policy review without altering existing laws or funding.
