U.S. Coast Guard officers patrolling Papua New Guinea (PNG) waters will have authority to board foreign vessels suspected of illegal activity in its economic zone without a PNG officer on board, under an agreement giving the force more powers, it said.

The U.S. Coast Guard is getting the broader role to boost maritime security in a region in which China operates large distant water fishing fleets, and is also seeking a security presence.

U.S. Coast Guard officials told Reuters a maritime law enforcement agreement between the U.S. and PNG includes a new provision to allow U.S. Coast Guard officers to board and search a suspect vessel on PNG's behalf, without the requirement for a PNG law officer to be present as a "ship rider". PNG has become a focus for the United States after China struck a security pact with Solomon Islands last year.
