Improving the Security of Containers in Port Related Supply Chains
Transportation Research Procedia, 2016
An increasing part of goods are transported using containers. Containers are the most vulnerable when static, and hence ports and other terminals are key locations in insuring the integrity of containers. Container transport chain monitoring is needed both for supply chain management and security reasons. Authorities demand increased freight visibility in order to assure compliance with the regulations and to avoid import of illicit goods. The paper discusses the technological possibilities to improve the integrity of containers in port related supply chains. Possible solutions are adding monitoring equipment, such as e-seals and tracking devices, monitoring the environment using cameras, improved gate processes. The optimal use of these technologies requires sharing of information between different stakeholders. Based on the assessment of the different measures, a set of recommendations to improve container security related to the implementation of the technologies will be provided.

Effectiveness of the global transport is directly linked to the freight security measures undertaken during entire integrated transportation process. Securing the supply chain through the securing of containers during transit could help to lower costs for consumers through the potential reduction of billion of dollars that are lost to theft and other spoilages. An effective container transport security system and supply chain security solution must include end-toend container tracking and full container intrusion monitoring in real time. This article is based on the AVANTE end-to-end intermodal container supply chain security tracking system used in order to achieve high supply chain security level. The article however, represents much more holistic approach identifying critical benefits for single transport operators as well as for the local and global economy.
Concepts for the Improvement of Supply Chain Efficiency and Security
2013
Modern supply chains have a large number of transport phases and actors involved, and face many security risks. This paper presents a discussion and new concepts for management of the multimodal supply chains and transport unit security. The paper will assess how companies can benefit from the investments in security technology, and discuss the possibilities of the use of monitoring technology.
Maritime supply chain security: A critical review
The importance of container security for international trade is well established and has been the subject of recent research in the follow up of the implementation of global security initiatives and the imperative of avoiding supply chain disruptions and reduce vulnerability. This article provides a review of the emerging literature on container security specifically in its interface with global logistics systems. The paper highlights the topics that have emerged as well-established research areas and indicates in what areas scholarly attention is most needed.
Supply Chain Security: Benefits for the Socio-Economy
2018
Maritime Intermodal door-2-door supply chains are complex as many different actors are involved. Beside legal supply chain actors also criminals use logistics transport networks for their operations. For example, illicit narcotics, weapons and counterfeited products are smuggled in these supply chains. There are already mitigation measures for maritime security in place but there is still need for improvement in order to reduce the volume of illicit transports and the social damages related to it.<br> Customs authorities focus on these illicit activities in order to detect and to limit damage to the society. The main aim is to ensure safety and security in international trade. Therefore, customs authorities use risk targeting systems which are based on customs declaration data and intelligence systems to detect high risk trade flows. High quality data has to be used to detect these illicit trade flows. However, today the quality of data is lacking. The CASSANDRA project develo...

The amount of container goods that is lost due to theft, piracy, accidents and damage is unfortunately increasing. Real time remote containers tracking and monitoring can help prevent losing track of container and goods, as well as provide actionable information in order to retrieve goods or minimize damage. Moreover, the ability to determine responsibility in case of damage or theft leads to reduce insurance claims costs and lower insurance premiums. Thus, an effective container transport security and management system should include subsystems such as container tracking and container intrusion monitoring in real time. This paper is based on the AVANTE1 Intermodal Real-time Container Tracking Solution and STARCOM Systems2 TRITON Real-time Container Tracking System used in order to achieve benefits in supply chain security and management. The main aim of this article is to provide a holistic analysis of possible benefits for various levels of potential users of such systems. Working...

122 Cybersecurity Issues in Modern Transportation Infrastructure Age: Development of Prototype Maritime and Cargo Security Supply Chain Abstract: Since the September 11 attack on the United States, efforts to improve the security of infrastructures and citizens have been given serious attention. The national security agencies in the United States have since initiated several international partnership and anti-terrorism initiatives. Major areas that still require urgent attention are the sea ports in general and maritime cargos in particular. Cybersecurity is the follow of protective systems, networks, and programs from digital attacks. Computers and communication play an important role in all modes of maritime transportation. The purpose of this paper is to develop prototype maritime and cargo technology system for tracking and tracing shipment from foreign ports to the United State of America and increase information and trade data sharing. Specifically, the objective of this paper...
This paper will review the changes to global security policies after the 9/11 attacks and show the current issues regarding the policies in place. This paper will also show the significant progress which has been made since the September 11th 2001 attacks but many of the rules, regulations and changes implemented to enhance safety are still lacking in certain areas. Prior to the September 11th 2001 attacks against the United States, the customs authorities were responsible primarily for clearing imported goods after such goods arrived at the border; as a result of the attacks, the cargo security programs developed after 9/11 stress pre-shipment inspection of exports and inspection of imported goods (Peterson and Treat, 2008). This paper will also show the importance of the maritime industry and what could happen if the current issues surrounding global security are not fixed or addressed.
