Marshall Islands security ties: The Marshall Islands signed a State Partnership agreement with Guam and Nebraska National Guard for disaster preparedness and emergency response readiness. Maritime safety (Marshall Islands): A Marshall Islands–flagged bulk carrier investigation found a fatal enclosed space entry after a bosun entered a hatch space without following procedures.
