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 Álvaro Pilar. Beginning in January 2, the current Secretary General for the Popular Democratic Party, Víctor Suárez, is expected to assume the position.[4]
