Hope & Prayer the State of Seaport Insecurity
By Deborah Gage and John Mccormick With Randy Barrett
... a portal that would integrate security into the port's everyday business—linking terminal
operators, ocean carriers, railroads and trucking companies.
Parts of the project already exist. The terminal operators use various types of logistics
software to keep track of containers and approve truck drivers for pickups. Meanwhile,
Maritime Director Bridges has contracted with SynchroNet Marine for a portal called SynchroMet
that lets trucking companies swap empty shipping containers online.
Such a portal could track the movement of cargo all through the supply chain, sending alerts
when something is wrong, or verifying the identity of the truck driver delivering the container.
