PORTMIAMI
On August 28, 2013, INL and PortMiami
initiated a partnership that will allow INL to take
advantage of PortMiami’s expertise to
strengthen maritime security globally.
The utilization of this partnership will increase
our ability to stop criminal networks from
moving illicit goods through ports.
WHY PORTS?
To assist INL’s mandate of combating
transnational crime and drug trafficking
organizations seaports are a valuable partner in
that fight.

Why use PortMiami
in the Caribbean?
Old Caribbean routes and networks from the 1980s
are looking attractive again given efforts elsewhere in
the region
Majority of drug trafficking done on the water (gofasts, pleasure vessels, commercial vessels)
Miami is one of the most important U.S. ports for
Latin American/ Caribbean imports/exports and has
the knowledge base to handle requests from the
region
PortMiami handles more cruise ship traffic than any
other port worldwide and has vast experience in the
special issues that arise with that type of traffic
