This bill, titled the Strategic Ports Reporting Act, mandates that the Secretary of State, in coordination with the Secretary of Defense, develop a global mapping of foreign and domestic ports deemed important to the United States. This mapping must specifically identify any efforts by the Government of the People's Republic of China (PRC) or other PRC entities to build, buy, or otherwise control these strategic ports. The Secretaries are required to submit this mapping, which may include a classified annex, to the appropriate congressional committees. Furthermore, the bill requires a comprehensive study and report on strategic ports, focusing on the reasons for U.S. interest, the PRC's activities and plans to expand control over ports outside its territory, and the public and private actors, such as China Ocean Shipping Company , involved. The study must also assess how PRC control could harm U.S. national security or economic interests and propose measures the U.S. Government could take to ensure open access and security, offering alternatives to PRC investments. The final report, due within one year, must include detailed lists of PRC-controlled and U.S.-controlled ports, an assessment of vulnerabilities, and a suggested strategy to secure trusted investment and ownership of strategic ports and maritime infrastructure, including funding sources and cost assessments.
