March 26, 2025 — The Port Authority of Guam proudly unveils its official 50th Anniversary logo, marking the beginning of a yearlong celebration of five decades of service to the island and region. The new commemorative logo is the result of a spirited employee-driven campaign that reflects the Port’s commitment to honoring its history while embracing its future.
In the true spirit of unity and collaboration, the Marketing Division facilitated a logo selection process that engaged the Port’s entire workforce. A majority of
employees, including our board members, responded to the internal survey—a remarkable show of participation and pride in the agency’s milestone. With three design options to choose from, the final winning logo emerged ahead by just two votes, showcasing the diversity of opinion and the collective care put into this momentous decision.
“Having our employees select the 50th anniversary logo underscores who we are as an agency—united, dedicated, and proud of our shared journey,” said Port General Manager Rory J. Respicio. “This logo is more than a design; it’s a symbol of the heart and soul of all of our employees and the progress we’ve made together.”
The logo will serve as the visual centerpiece of the Port’s 50th Anniversary celebration, which is being commemorated under the theme: “Port Strong: 50 Years of Grit, Resilience, and Service Fueling Local and Regional Economies, Partnerships, and National Security.”
Since its establishment in 1975, the Port Authority of Guam has grown into a modern, vital lifeline for Guam and the region. As the island’s only commercial seaport, the Port handles approximately 90% of all incoming goods, playing a critical role in the daily lives of every resident and business. Over the decades, the agency has achieved numerous milestones, including:
- Launching major capital improvement projects to modernize terminal operations and increase capacity;
- Receiving multiple national awards for financial reporting, safety, and sustainability;
- Strengthening security and disaster readiness as a designated Strategic Seaport;
- Navigating the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic without disruption to essential supply chains.
Throughout it all, the Port has remained rooted in its mission: “To provide efficient, cost effective and reliable services in the import and export of cargo and he movement of passengers.”
The unveiling of the 50th Anniversary logo is just the beginning. Throughout 2025, the Port will host a series of commemorative events and employee recognitions to celebrate the achievements of the past five decades and chart a course for the next 50 years.
“This logo reflects our story: one of resilience, innovation, and service,” said Respicio. “As we celebrate 50 years, we’re not just looking back—we’re moving forward, together.”
