SUMMARY
Whilst everybody agrees on the need to improve container shipping
security, the industry is divided over the best way to achieve it and
who should pay.
Where are the biggest vulnerabilities in the container shippling supply
chain? Is the right solution advanced warning of shipments to customs,
Or is it the responsibility of ports to enforce security, using cargo
scanners, container seals, tracking devices and gate security systems?
Following our successful conference "Virtual Box" looking at how IT is
integrating the container shipping community (click HERE
to read the report), Digital Ship is holding a two day event in
Rotterdam in Feb 4-5 2003 to discuss the issues in depth. If you work
in the container shipping industry you will find this event invaluable
to learn about the latest opinion and participate in the discussion.

CONFERENCE
PROGRAM DAY ONE
CONFERENCE MODERATOR: Tim Power of
Power Project Resources (ex P&O Nedlloyd and International
Asset Systems) tjpower@attglobal.net
Session one theme: Supply chain vulnerability and its consequences
9.00 Supply chain vulnerability - where are the weak points and what
can you do about them?
Dick
McCormick, VP business risk international,
Pinkertons
This review of the global supply chain will look at where the key areas
of vulnerability are and identify those areas where the international
trading community needs to concentrate its security efforts
9.30 What is the economic threat?
Speaker: to be announced
A recent simulation estimates that, at current preparedness levels, a
"dirty bomb" attack through the ports could cost U.S. businesses $58
billion. We look at this and the economic implications of new security
measures.
10.00 Lessons from smuggling and container crime
David Hopps, head of physical security and crisis
management, Tag 24
Smuggling is big business. Wherever there is a price difference or a
shortage of supply someone will attempt to smuggle goods in. The vast
numbers of containers and products shipped throughout the world gives
the smuggler a ready vehicle in which to hide his wares.
We will look at the lessons learned from tracking
smuggled and counterfeit goods and discuss whether they can be applied
to protecting nations from the threat of weapons of mass destruction
delivered through container distribution.
10.30 What lessons can we learn from airfreight?
John Edwards, Network Safety and
Compliance Manager, British Airways World Cargo
11.00 COFFEE
Session two : The role of technology in securing
the supply chain
11.30 Securing shippers
Marcus Hallside, Maintenance Systems
(Invited)
How does industry make sure that weapons are not being packed into
containers at origin? What programmes are being put in place to ensure
greater security at this vulnerable link in the supply chain?
12.00 Securing ports
Peter Zint, Hamburg
Port Consultancy
Ports worldwide are under enormous pressure to join security
programmes, but what is really needed to create a secure port and what
will work in practice?
12.30 Panel discussion: how much can technology contribute to solving
these problems?
1.00 LUNCH
Session three : Supply chain data and its role in
security
2.30 Securing containers in transit: e-seals
Karl Bohman, CEO, All Set Tracking
e-seals are being put forward as a key element in future trade
security. We ask How can e-seals contribute to secure trade lanes and
"safe commerce"? Are they commercially viable? What are the side
benefits for users? What performance standards for seals are being
developed? What needs to be done in terms of testing to set those
standards?
3.00 Securing containers in transit: satellite tracking and movements
on land
Peter Vyvyan-Robinson, CEO, Tri-Mex
Detecting crime and accessing police across
borders Movement of containers in large hinterlands like Europe and the
USA adds to security risk. We look at how satellite tracking and links
to police forces can contribute.
3.30 The container of the future
Phil Behenna, senior vice president of sales,
International Asset Systems
The modern ISO container is a relatively simple metal box. How could it
be adapted, or equipped with hardware/technologies for security
purposes in the future?
4.00 Technology in action: Smart and Secure Tradelanes
Mark McGlade, managing director Europe, Middle
East and Africa, Savi
Smart and Secure Tradelanes is a major US-led
initiative involving ports and technology providers. We look at what it
has achieved.
4.30 TEA
5.00 Container scanning: how does it work, what can it do?
Victor Orphan, senior VP corporate development,
SAIC
A key element in future security will be the inspection of containers
at port of origin using nuclear portal monitors and gamma-ray or x-ray
imaging systems. We look at how these work and what they can deliver.
5.30 PANEL DISCUSSION How much more secure do these technologies make
the supply chain? UK Customs, Dick
McCormick, VP business risk international,
Pinkertons,
Victor Orphan, senior VP corporate
development, SAIC,
Karl Bohman, CEO, All Set Tracking

CONFERENCE PROGRAM DAY TWO
9.00 Data provision: can the portals help?
Ashley Skaanild, regional director, GT Nexus
Carrier portals are improving the efficiency of data collection from
shippers and are becoming significant data repositories in their own
right. How can they contribute to improved security?
9.30 Data: how can you make it useful and available?
Mark McGlade, managing director Europe,
Middle East and Africa, Savi
Getting security data in the
right format and making it available to the people who need it quickly
and reliably is vital. What steps are being taken to achieve this?
10.00 Data analysis tools
Ian Black, Autonomy
10.30 BREAK
11.00 Current security initiatives from the US

been detected and dealt with. What can we learn for the future?
12.30 LUNCH
Session: security costs
Security is not free. What are the practical
implications for shippers, ports and lines? Are the optimists right to
say that security initiatives will drive new supply chain efficiencies
or is security going to add to costs (and if it does, who pays?)?
2.00 the shipping line's perspective
Speaker : to be announced

Nicolette van der Jagt, secretary general, European Shippers Council
