Above all else, governments value the ability to track a suspect container and intercept it before it can do any real damage to its ports and related supply chains. But for most cargoes, there is no realised commercial value as containers are cheap to replace and the cargoes have no legal commercial value. Only 1 Million containers are valuable enough to merit tracing. But each stakeholder has their own related business priorities:

Case Study: At the receiving ends: the perspective from the Ports

Few ports realise the opportunity to ease security organisation and lower their investment at the terminal through appropriate management of specific containers that are already monitored and tracked by the owner or the transporters for security/ theft protection and or logistics efficiency reasons. Discover:

• The incentives for ports to invest time and effort in container tracking
• The challenges ports face if they attempt to integrate different levels of asset security
• The technical and non-technical solutions that will help ports deal with container security and monitoring
• Pending requirements on ports regarding communication networks and how such networks can be financed (levies, etc.)

Jurjen Duintjer, Security Advisor, Port of Rotterdam Authority

How container tracking can help Customs officials facilitate their risk assessment procedures:

• Authorized trader: defining a common data set for monitoring /tracking information included in common control standards
• How container tracking can help Customs facilitate through-traffic and trans-shipment
• Why the cost of tracking containers is miniscule compared to the potential damage and associated consequential losses that a weapon of mass destruction could wreak on a major port in a developed or developing country

Mr. Bert Wiersema, member of the management team, Customs Rotterdam

Perspective from the Freight Forwarders;

Panalpina's Head of Global Security, Jürg Meier will discuss the requirements from the logistics sector.
