The 14th District’s boundaries of responsibility stretch from the Hawaiian Islands and across most of the Central and Western Pacific.

Hawaii is home to 10 commercial ports.

The Coast Guard has 75 marine safety experts just in Hawaii!

Hawaii is home to 400+ aids to navigation (ATON), and is undertaking an extensive effort to modernize them to improve safety of vessels traveling the waterways. See how Lt. Trevor Clark used drone ATONs to help Hawaii’s ports reopen for business after a 2018 hurricane. **

U.S. Coast Guard divers help assess the safety and security of port infrastructure. Meet Andres Murillo, a diver with the Regional Dive Locker Pacific in Honolulu. **

#### D14 Featured Story:

When a super Typhoon Yutu hit Saipan in 2018, damaging the Port of Saipan; the ports in Guam, Rota, Saipan and Tinian were all closed due to storm damage. Arriving on scene, Coast Guard crews responded.

Air crews from Air Station Barbers Point transferred personnel and supplies and assessed the ports from the air, while other crews assessed from the ground and were ready to respond to any pollution or salvage efforts that may be needed.

Meanwhile, crew members from the USCG cutters SEQUIOA and KISKA loaded and provided supplies to those effected by Typhoon Yutu.

Here’s what it took to open one of the ports. **

#### Coast Guard leadership in action

"Our local and extended Coast Guard teams were active alongside our federal, territory, and local partners in this recovery effort," said Capt. Christopher Chase, the captain of the port and commander Coast Guard Sector Guam."We worked to assess and rapidly restore the Maritime Transportation System to ensure the movement of supplies and commerce. We are always prepared to respond to emergent search and rescue cases and pollution incidents."
