This bill requires the Secretary of Transportation and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner to develop a secure alternative to LOGINK, a Chinese government-operated logistics platform used internationally to track shipping and transportation information. The legislation directs these officials to work with the International Maritime Organization, the European Commission, and other international organizations to create a new platform that cannot be compromised by foreign adversaries, and to establish security standards for U.S. and global logistics networks. The bill stems from concerns that LOGINK poses national security and economic security risks by potentially enabling espionage or sabotage of American and international ports and critical infrastructure. Within 180 days of the bill's enactment, the President must submit a report to Congress detailing possible security threats from LOGINK, commercial operation risks, and steps being taken to protect U.S. logistics networks. The bill does not specify funding amounts or detailed timelines beyond the initial 180-day reporting deadline.
