  • Air transport: Potential short-term delays due to safety inspections on transpacific air cargo routes via Guam International Airport
  • Maritime logistics: Possibility of temporary operational adjustments by vessels on major Western Pacific shipping routes due to safety confirmation procedures
  • Communications infrastructure: Concerns over data transmission delays due to preventive inspections of submarine cables or satellite communication facilities
