Their security, along with their efficient operation, is of paramount importance not only because of their critical transport functions but also because of their role as border control points. Port security, cornerstone for the implementation of the new international maritime transport security regime, should be seen also as an opportunity to further automate and simplify port procedures and operations. The key is to embed security in all main port functionalities, primarily through intelligent procedures and data sharing rather than implementing security as an overlay on top of port operations. The aim of the present paper is to analyse the problem, highlight the issues and provide a systemic framework towards a better port security with better and simpler procedures rather than penalising the trade or the port related activities.

However, without additional measures to update / adapt the inspection procedures the issue is likely to be only postponed, eventually facing a problem greater than the one we now try to solve. Ship inspections must become more efficient and cost effective.

The system is light-weight, completely passive, more cost-effective than existing solutions and relatively easy to install. The design for the DIFIS ("Double Inverted Funnel for the Intervention on Ship wrecks") concept was made in an EU-funded research project.
