Posts - Bill - HR 1165 Port Crane Security and Inspection Act of 2025
house 02/10/2025 - 119th Congress
We're addressing security concerns at U.S. ports by proposing a legislation that mandates inspections of foreign cranes, particularly those with internet connectivity, before they can be used at high-risk ports. This bill aims to identify and mitigate potential threats related to the cybersecurity and operational integrity of these cranes, ensuring that any foreign cranes posing risks are taken offline until deemed secure.
