Up to 95 members of the United States CoastGuard have been in Port Moresby for over a week now providing security as the various APEC summit meetings get underway.
Using eight 10 metre long security boats they are patrolling the maritime restricted areas which have been declared by the Commissioner of Police Gari Baki.
Their key areas of focus are the waters around APEC Haus and the three cruise ships being used for supplementary accommodation.
