The Puerto Rico Ports Authority (PRPA) (Spanish: Autoridad de los Puertos; AP) is a government-owned corporation of Puerto Rico charged with developing, operating, and overseeing all seaports and airports in Puerto Rico.[1][2][3] The Authority is ascribed to the Department of Transportation and Public Works and is governed by a board of directors whose members are appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. Its day-to-day operations are under the charge of an executive director, currently Omar Marrero Díaz.[4]
