Descripción
Sumario:After the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, it became apparent that maritime shipping containers themselves and their links with other modes represent potential security vulnerabilities. This report describes the complex, hybrid container transport system and the variety of actors involved. It then identifies potential areas of security weakness and provides recommendations for inland transport and maritime authorities to improve container security.
Notas:"The events of 11 September 2001 highlighted the vulnerability of many aspects of the transport system, in particular the weaknesses in links among modes along the transport chain and the need for a coordinated security approach among modes. ... The findings of this report were agreed by ECMT [European Conference of Ministers of Transport] at their Ljubljana Council and the OECD Maritime Transport Committee in Paris in May 2004."--Foreword.
