The '''Port of Guam''' (officially, ''' Jose D. Leon Guerrero Commercial Port''') handles over ninety percent of total imports to the United States island territory of [[Guam]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Facts and Figures |url=https://www.portofguam.com/about-us/maritime-operation/facilities-and-services/facts-and-figures |website=Port Authority of Guam |access-date=15 February 2021}}</ref> Located in the north of [[Apra Harbor]] on [[Cabras Island]], it shares harbor waters with [[Naval Base Guam]] and two small marinas.<ref name=PAG_marinas>{{cite web |title=Marinas |url=https://www.portofguam.com/about-us/maritime-operation/facilities-and-services/marinas |website=Port Authority of Guam |access-date=15 February 2021}}</ref> Family Beach on the Glass Breakwater is owned by the Port Authority of Guam, as well as numerous other water recreational businesses leased by the Authority.

==History==
After taking possession of the island in the 1898 [[Spanish–American War]], the [[United States]] operated it as its [[Fuelling station|coaling and shipping station]] in the western Pacific. Except for the [[Japanese occupation of Guam]] from 1941 to 1944, the territorial Naval Administration ran the commercial port until 1951, when the 24 acres of commercial port was transferred to the [[United States Department of Commerce]]. In 1962, the [[United States Department of the Interior|Interior Department]] transferred the commercial port to the Government of Guam. Over 1,000 acres was eventually transferred from the federal government to the Government of Guam for port use. The Port Authority of Guam was established as an autonomous public corporation by law in 1975. In 2002, the Port of Guam was officially renamed Jose D. Leon Guerrero Commercial Port, after the first commercial port manager.<ref>{{cite web |title=About PAG |url=https://www.portofguam.com/about-us/about-pag |publisher=Port Authority of Guam |access-date=15 February 2021}}</ref>

The Port Authority also manages two separate marinas: [[Gregorio D. Perez Marina]] (formerly, Agana Boat Basin) in [[Hagåtña, Guam|Hagåtña]] and [[Agat Marina]] in [[Agat, Guam|Agat]].<ref name=PAG_marinas />
