  1. RMI Ports Authority Pacific Aviation Directors Workshop April 5-7, 2005 Radisson Prince Kuhio Hotel, Honolulu, HI

  2. RMIPA Background • RMI Ports Authority (RMIPA) Act of 2003 passed into law on September 19, 2003 • The purpose of the Act is to consolidate the Marshall Islands Port Authority and Marshall Islands Airport Authority into a single Ports Authority responsible for the maintenance and operation of the airport in Majuro and the ports in Ebeye, Jaluit and Majuro • RMIPA did not become fully functional until October of 2004

  3. Mission Statement • To contribute to the economic and social development of the Republic of the Marshall Islands by establishing, maintaining and managing efficient commercial airport and seaport facilities

  4. Composition of RMIPA Board • The Board of Directors consists of 7 members, all of whom are appointed by the Cabinet • The Cabinet designates one of the members as Chairman of the Board • The Minister of Transportation & Communication is not a member of the Board but may give directions to the Board on the general policies to be adopted by RMIPA

  5. Staff of RMIPA • The day-to-day administration and operation of the RMIPA rests with the Director, who is selected by the Board • The Director is assisted by six departmental managers each responsible for the airport, harbors, finance, maintenance, security, and ARFF • There are 54 full-time employees; about 50% are security officers

  6. Staff of RMIPA • 10 of the security officers are cross-trained in aircraft rescue and fire fighting • 3 were recently certified after undergoing a month-long training in basic firefighting under the auspices of the Commonwealth Ports Authority • RMIPA plans to train additional security staff in aircraft rescue and fire fighting next year

  7. ARFF Staff

  8. Cabin Security Inspections • Mandated more than a year ago by TSA on US passenger flights servicing the Micronesian region • The security directive requires that the airline conducts cabin security inspections at all international airports • To do this, all passengers are asked to deplane

  9. Cabin Security Inspections • What has changed since last year? • At each airport (except Kwajalein) only one side of the aircraft is required to deplane; this is done randomly • When it rains, all passengers remain on board while cabin inspections are carried out • Business class passengers are not required to deplane
