House Resolution 854 directs the House Government Committee to conduct an urgent inquiry into local business displacement at San Juan cruise terminals.[^1]

The resolution alleges displacement of local businesses at the piers has occurred since 2025.[^2] Published accounts differ on the port's operating structure. San Juan Cruise Port LLC is listed as holding a 2022 public-private concession with the Puerto Rico Ports Authority.[^3] Separate industry filings state Global Ports Holding assumed full operations at the port in February 2024 under a 30-year agreement.[^4]

Global Ports Holding has stated it is delivering an initial $200 million infrastructure modernization program at the port. That work is scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2026.[^5]
